Tiger80 Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 NEW DELHI: Three-time MP from Kanauj Akhilesh Yadav is the new chief minister of Uttar Pradesh. Akhilesh, the parliamentarian son of SP chief and former chief minister Mulayam Singh Yadav, is to be sworn in March 15. The decision to elect him the top post was finalised at an hour-long meeting of the newly-elected SP legislators in Lucknow on Saturday. Earlier, senior SP leader Azam Khan proposed Akhilesh Yadav's name as chief minister of UP at the legislative board meeting in Lucknow. Akhilesh's uncle Shivpal Yadav seconded the proposal, after which the former bowed to his father and touched his feet. Later, most of the Samajwadi Party leaders endorsed the proposal. There were strong voices within the party supporting him to be the chief minister. Initially, Mulayam's brother Shivpal Singh Yadav was opposing Akhilesh as chief minister, but he was later convinced by the former chief minister. Akhilesh at the age of 38 has become the youngest chief minister of Uttar Pradesh. It may be noted that the credit for the win of the Samajwadi Party and the routing of Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) has been unanimously given to a rigorous campaign by Akhilesh across the state. The suspense over who will head the new government in Uttar Pradesh is over now. An MP from Kannauj, Akhilesh is largely seen as a game changer in UP politics and credited with the massive mandate in favour of the party in the assembly polls. An environmental engineer from Sydney University, Akhilesh was appointed state president of the SP in 2009. He slogged it out for the party in hostile situations, with Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati at the helm of affairs. After his elevation as chief minister, Akhilesh would now quit his seat as MP from Kannauj and is likely to contest elections for the state assembly from Jaswantnagar, a seat for long held by Shivpal Yadav. Before Akhilesh's election as the chief minister, Mayawati was the youngest Uttar Pradesh chief minister at 39 years of age. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Samajwadi-Party-announces-Akhilesh-Yadav-as-the-new-chief-minister-of-UP/articleshow/12207765.cms
Sachin=GOD Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 They just lost 5-10 seats in Lok Sabha 2014 with this decision. Should've made Akhilesh Deputy CM and MSY CM for 2-3 years and then Akhilesh could have taken over.
hari504504 Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 first MBA - CM we have had ? He sure has a good head on his shoulders considering how he routed the Italian prince.
Sachin=GOD Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 I think Mulayam is eyeing PM's post Nah. His health is not good and the only reason Akhilesh has been made CM is to make sure that the succession goes through smoothly in front of MSY rather than a bitter fight between the many Yadav siblings after MSY retires/passes away.
adi B Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 hope he changes things for up, maybe he himself is a good guy or administrator, but the sp workers are incorrigible, will never stop gundaism :nervous:
hari504504 Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 At the grassroots level generally party workers across the board are the goonda types.
Texy Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 He starts off with Islamopandering by refusing to attend the conference where Salman Rushdie will participate. Imran Khan recently also refused to attend the conference. And this guy is the future Samajwadi party PM candidate? :haha:
