Lucknow: Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, and his son and UP chief minister designate Akhilesh Yadav are expected to be in Delhi shortly. Their visit comes ahead of the Budget session of Parliament tomorrow.
Both Mulayam and Akhilesh are also Members of Parliament and are expected to attend the President's opening joint address to the House.
Yesterday, 38-year-old Akhilesh was selected to head Uttar Pradesh as the state's Chief Minister. He will be the youngest ever to hold that position.
He will be sworn in between 11 and 1 on Thursday, March 15.
Thanks to his relentless campaigning, Akhilesh led his party to a whopping win, securing 224 seats - the biggest total in two decades in UP for any political party. In doing so, he trounced Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party and Rahul's hopes of scripting a comeback in UP.
With several challenges ahead, Akhilesh has his work cutout for him in the coming days.
