Lucknow: All posts on the Twitter timelines of outgoing UP CM Akhilesh Yadav and the UP government disappeared on Tuesday, days after the BJP crushed theSP-Congress alliance in the Assembly elections.

Twitter handle @CMOfficeUP also unfollowed many accounts. Another handle, UP News 360, had posts deleted.

The official handles were used to inform the people about the policies of the government and did not attract any controversy.

The government later clarified that the tweets have been archived, not deleted. In 2014, when former PM Manmohan Singh demitted office, his staff archived the contents of his Twitter account.
