Akhilesh's unemployment allowance has many takers
At 1 pm on a Monday, Pooja Saxena, is waiting in line in 36 degrees heat outside Lucknow's employment bureau. There are nearly 40 other women surrounding her. They are here to register for the Rs. 1000 dole a month for every unemployed person in Uttar Pradesh who has graduated from Class 10. This was a prominent part of new chief minister Akhilesh Yadav's campaign, and it is snapping up followers.
