The Bicycle of Aspirations is on the move in the largest State of India, Uttar Pradesh, where in bloodless historic change of power, the electorate has initiated a new era of hopes, which might change the National political scenario in the long run. In a country afflicted, tormented & plundered by unrestrained, crooked and self-centred politics was everyone waiting for a young leader like Akhilesh Yadav to transmute aspirations into results.
Yaggya Dutt Sharma (86) a freedom fighter, who worked for several governments as a media expert and authored 400 articles, published in prominent newspapers and the magazines.
Avijit Suryavanshi (31) hails from a prominent Suryavanshi Thakur family of eastern Uttar Pradesh. He briefly worked as a current affairs and sports editor for a major publishing house in India and runs his own family business at Lucknow.
During Samajwadi Party's pre-poll publicity planning in Uttar Pradesh, when the State President Akhilesh Yadav suggested an advertisement showing an energetic cyclist paddling ahead of a fat elephant, nobody had an idea that it's exactly going to happen soon. What finally happened in U.P. was the failsafe political strategy of SP's grandmaster Mulayam Singh Yadav's son Akhilesh, who almost single-handedly authored the mammoth victory for Samajwadi Party and very befittingly, on March 10, 2012, his name was announced as the future Chief Minister of the State and he assumed office five days later.
Socialism has always evoked images of frail looking, unkempt faced, crumpled, sometimes starched khadi wearing netas. In Hindi heartland this has been the typical description of a 'samajwadi neta'. In modern times, a Samajwadi Neta would often be synonymous with khadi designer wear sporting young me, with the party flag fluttering on their sports utility vehicles and ones who would throw in tantrums and their supposed 'political heavy weight' at the drop of the hat.
This until, this 35-something named Akhilesh Yadav was seated on the driver's seat of the Samajwadi Party, a strong regional party as it looked to find its moorings in times when the Dalit onslaught under the Mayawat dispensation was at its nadir.
