Akhilesh Yadav, one of the opposition's most prominent voices, is yet to make a mark in parliament, where he has hardly been seen since the start of the budget session on June 17. The Samajwadi Party chief has attended parliament only three times in two weeks, and one of those visits was for his oath in the Lok Sabha.
Akhilesh Yadav and his father Mulayam Singh Yadav are the two main faces in the group of five that represents the Samajwadi Party in the Lok Sabha. Mulayam Singh, 79, has been unwell and Akhilesh has been largely missing.
