AKHILESH YADAV - New Leader in the making

U.P Elections counting is underway so thought of sharing info available on net about one of the politicians who has spearheaded change in the state .
(Thanks to him, hopefully no more elephant statues in the state)
And the name is AKHILESH YADAV
AKHILESH YADAV

The son of SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav, born on July 1, 1973 in Saifai of Etawah district of the state.

Akhilesh Yadav has a Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree from Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering, Mysore affiliated to University of Mysore.

He also has a Masters in environmental engineering from Sydney University , though certain sources suggest that he never submitted his thesis. Akhilesh was schooled at Dholpur Military School.
Akhilesh was first elected to the Lok Sabha from Kannauj in a by-election in 2000, a seat he would retain in the 2004 and 2009 Lok Sabha elections.

In my opinion, a good leader in the making. I am not trying to be all gooey here but this guy has done a lot of good work in U.P.

For example, in the recent election campaigning, while the Congress talked about reservation for Muslims, Akhilesh talked about Urdu keyboards. Combined with this has been a steely resolve to deny tickets to candidates like DP Yadav whose 'criminal' image would have harmed the party, according to Akhilesh.

However, Akhilesh's real test will be in maintaining this positivism when it comes to governance, policy framing and implementation if SP comes to power in Lucknow.

In direct contrast to Rahul Gandhi's negative campaign pitch which harped on the injustice meted out to the state's people by not only its government but also by groups in Mumbai and other parts of Maharashtra, Akhilesh's 'free laptop' promise brought a whiff of the aspirational 'India' to UP's 'Bharat'.

Wishing him all the best.
