Lucknow: For the first time in five years, the doors of the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister's residence at 5 Kalidas Marg in Lucknow were thrown open to the public. From today, the newly elected Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav began his Janata Durbar where residents of the state will walk in with their problems, hoping to find solutions.
"We are happy that we now have a chief minister who meets his people," said one of the lucky visitors who met the chief minister. "I hope he does not throw these requests of ours in the dustbin and acts on them," said another.
On day one, Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav met close to 10,000 people for over 5 hours. But not everyone was lucky enough to get an audience with their new chief minister.
"We came but since we could not compete with the mad rush of people at the gates so we were left out", said Amit Johri.
During her five year tenure, former Chief Minister Mayawati never held a Janata Durbar or accepted letters from the people of the state. But now with a more accessible chief minister like Akhilesh Yadav in power, people are looking forward to a more responsive chief minister's office.
