Akhilesh Yadav And Rahul Gandhi: Friends With Absolutely No Benefits

Akhilesh Yadav and Congress alliance no match for PM Modi
It turns out that Akhilesh Yadav's big decisions in his attempt to stretch his political legs far from his father have backfired spectacularly. The 44-year-old Chief Minister today earned the distinction of being vanquished in the BJP's biggest ever result in India's most important state. Of 403 seats, the BJP, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is placed to win more than 300. Akhilesh Yadav, on the other hand, had accrued 61, with his junior partner, the Congress, proving party pooper by adding just another eight (based on leads at 1.30 pm).
