Lucknow: Akhilesh Yadav launched his bid for a second term as Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh by starting a state-wide rath yatra named 'Vikas Yatra'. Today, Akhilesh Yadav is scheduled to travel 75 km in Lucknow and neighbouring Unnao. Though there are plans for him to stop every 2 kilometres to interact with people, he is likely to do so from a distance - on a hydraulic lift atop his Mercedes "rath".
