Akhilesh Yadav will be off to a colourful start on Thursday morning with priests and religious leaders from different communities gracing the occasion to bless the CM.
The Yatra will be flagged off amid chanting of hymns by Sadhus from
Ayodhya, Muslim clerics from Deoband and prists from the Christian community. People from all walks of life including
