UP CM Akhilesh to start a website of his own

Hoping to reach out to people across the class divide, particularly the young, Uttar Pradesh’s new tech savvy Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav will soon have a new address in cyber space.

Akhilesh Yadav, the state’s youngest chief minister at 38, who has restarted the tradition of ‘janata darshan’ at his home every week, is now going to start a new website.

The website www.akhileshyadav.com is under construction and will be up and running soon, said Samajwadi Party spokesperson Rajendra Choudhary.

Akhilesh Yadav, who is keen on propelling development through IT in the state, has been on Facebook for the past several months, but his quota of 5,000 is already full. His subscription has also crossed a lakh, said his aides.

The chief minister is keen to have a direct dialogue with people across all demographics and wants to interact with them on a regular basis, say his supporters.

The new website shows Akhilesh Yadav in a white kurta, black sleeveless jacket and the red Nehru cap of the SP party. It says “site coming soon”.
