Having vacated his sprawling official bungalow day back following the Supreme Court's orders, former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Monday hit the streets of the state capital on his high-end sports bicycle and went straight to the Gomti Rover Front, a dream project of his tenure, which now stands stalled. The Samajwadi Party (SP) chief pedaled his way to the river front and played cricket for around 20 minutes there. Not only did he give the youngsters a run for their money, hitting some big shots, the 45-year-old also took pot shots at the Yogi Adityanath government and expressed hope that now that his official residence is vacated the state BJP government would do something meaningful for the people.
