Akhilesh Yadav will not contest UP Assembly polls: Reports
As per reports, Samajwadi Party chief and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has told his party leaders that he will not contest the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections from any seat. "Some TV channels are running that I'll contest from Lucknow. I'm not contesting from anywhere. I'm an MLC till 2018 and I'll campaign for all," Akhilesh reportedly said.
A hurriedly called meeting at the Samajwadi Party office today by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav to gauge the sentiments of the office bearers and party workers, a drooping body language and an abrupt decision not to contest from any seat in the assembly polls speak volumes of the fast changing political dynamics in the state.
