Akhilesh Rath Yatra

Fate decided there would be a Ram Temple in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya long before it actually happened, BJP veteran LK Advani declared this week, labelling himself the "charioteer" who led the controversial 'rath yatra' that began in Gujarat in 1990.

Samajwadi Party's Vijay Rath Yatra in Ayodhya, scheduled for January 9, has been cancelled as Covid cases continue to rise fuelled by the Omicron variant.

As the 'Samajwadi Party Vijay Rath Yatra' culminated on Thursday, party chief Akhilesh Yadav said that Rath yatra may have ended today but the real journey will end when the party will form government in the state.

At an event in Hardoi in Central Uttar Pradesh on Sunday, an upbeat Akhilesh Yadav who has embarked on a rath yatra for the forthcoming elections, went on and on about the great contributions of "The Iron Man of India" - Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.

Kickstarting his party's "mission 2022" with a "rath yatra", SP chief Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday hit out at the BJP, saying it has "crushed farmers" and on return to power in Uttar Pradesh would "crush the Constitution" as well.

The verdict in the 28-year-old case involving the demolition of Babri Masjid, which stood at the Ram Janmabhoomi site in Ayodhya, will be pronounced today by a special court in Lucknow. The 1992 demolition -- preceded by a series of rath yatras by the BJP's LK Advani -- had cost around 3,000 lives and changed the country's political landscape. The ...

Hours after Akhilesh Yadav and Rahul Gandhi led a joint rally of the Samajwadi Party and the Congress in Lucknow today, Mulayam Singh Yadav said he did not approve of the alliance and would not campaign, reported news agency ANI. The alliance had been crafted after Akhilesh Yadav had wrested the control of the party from his father, backed by a maj...

The Congress-Samajwadi Party alliance in Uttar Pradesh will gather steam today as Akhilesh Yadav and Rahul Gandhi get together for a mega "Rath Yatra" in Lucknow. The two leaders will jointly address the media before the three-hour road show begins at 2 pm. It will be their first appearance after the two parties sealed a deal last week.

Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav said today that he is "not aware" of any attempt at forming a coalition with other parties ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, a final decision on which would be taken by Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav.

After a big show of family unity as his father and Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav flagged off his rath yatra, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav set off on Thursday morning in his snazzy red Mercedes bus that is serving as an election chariot.

As he began his campaign in his hi-tech and refurbished Mercedes, Akhilesh Yadav was philosophical about the feud that has engulfed his family, and left him somewhat estranged from his father, Mulayam Singh Yadav.

A few hundred metres into his 'Vikas Yatra', a state-wide tour, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav had to ditch his snazzy red Mercedes bus and get into an open SUV. The hi-tech 'rath' has broken down and work is on to repair it.

Akhilesh Yadav launched his bid for a second term as Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh by starting a state-wide rath yatra named 'Vikas Yatra'. Today, Akhilesh Yadav is scheduled to travel 75 km in Lucknow and neighbouring Unnao. Though there are plans for him to stop every 2 kilometres to interact with people, he is likely to do so from a distance -...

As Akhilesh Yadav launched his bid for a second term as Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh today, the posse with all-access to him is headed by Sunil Singh Sajan. The 34-year-old who is Akhilesh's go-to guy for his Vikas Rath Yatra (state-wide tour), is, however, no longer a member of the Samajwadi Party; he was expelled late last month along with oth...

Akhilesh Yadav's new rath is a snazzy set of wheels. 10 wheels actually on a modified red Mercedes bus that will be the 43-year-old chief minister's home for the next many days as he tours Uttar Pradesh ahead of assembly elections.
