CM Akhilesh Yadav visits newspaper office in Lucknow

The whole area, thousands of people that traverse
 this spot, were put to hardship because of
the chief minister's security.  He spent
around 1 1/2 hours at the paper during
 which dozens of cops and at least two
dozen vehicles belonging
to the CM's entourage hung around!
This blogger who works at this newspaper
was kept standing outside.
When the young politician, formerly a member
of Parliament was chosen to head Uttar Pradesh
as chief minister, he had promised to
cut down on unnecessary expenditure by
restricting the vehicles that follow him
to between 12 to 15. It seems he also
succumbed to sycophancy.

I took these pics while I was kept standing outside.
This type of security only proves lack of confidence
and low standards!!
