Just over two months after Akhilesh Yadav took over the reins of Uttar Pradesh, the Samajwadi Party seems to have fast-tracked its campaign to pitch party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav as the next prime ministerial candidate.
As the senior 73-year-old Yadav himself does not refute the ‘kendra ki mahatvakansha’ (central aspirations), the party has begun a dry run to gauge the minds of the people through its leaders, who have begun to portray the wrestler-turned-politician as the next prime minister.

The culprits were exonerated due to insufficient evidence.

Many candidates hide their previous job failures, fearing rejection.

An Indian law dating back to the 1960s states that those travelling to India are supposed to pay tax for carrying any gold valued at more than Rs20,000 (Dh1,379).
