Mayawati resigns from UP Legislative Council

About two months after facing a huge defeat in the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, former Chief Minister and BSP supremo Mayawati, recently elected to the Rajya Sabha, has resigned from the membership of the state Legislative Council. “The resignation signed by Mayawati was received on April 12 and notification in this regard has been issued,” sources in the Vidhan Parishad said.

After her election to the Upper House, Mayawati had said that her partymen wanted her to go to the Parliament to raise issues concerning the state at the national level. She had said that her partymen had asked her to increase the party’s support base all over the country and not just in Uttar Pradesh.
“They said they would not want me to devote all my time here… now that the Lok Sabha elections are near, I am free to devote my time to increase the party’s base all over the country,” she had said.

Speculation had been rife ever since Mayawati was ousted from power in the Assembly elections that she would shift her base to Delhi. Her term to the state Legislative Council was to expire in July, 2016.

Akhilesh Became 'Chandrababu' For UP

While there are lots of people who don't agree with TDP chief Chandrababu and his policies, still all of them go silent while talking about some developments in Andhra Pradesh. Our ex chief minister has now become an inspiration for Uttar Pradesh's young head, it looks.

Akhilesh Yadav, the young chief minister of Uttar Pradesh is moving pawns like what Chandrababu has done in 90s. After getting the steering into his hands, Naidu concentrated a lot on software industry and foreign investments to develop Hyderabad into a hitech city. Unanimously, the credit goes to him for bringing software giants to AP's capital city by falling in the eyes of American president Bill Clinton.

Now, Akhilesh is also doing the same way and that too in 30 days after stepping on throne. He convinced many US based investors to finalize Uttar Padesh as a potential place to invest.
