Akhilesh Yadav has resigned as an MP and is about to become the leader of opposition in the UP's legislative assembly face to face against the newly elected MLA and chief minister of the state Adityanath, this comes after the Akhilesh's party increased its tally to 125 seats with allies in the UP elections of 2022 coming in second to BJP's massive win of 270 plus seats. Many commentators were not afraid to say that if Akhilesh would have remained more active before the election campaign began, his party could have capitalized more on the anti-bjp votes and could have increased its tally close to 200 seats. If Akhilesh could have been more vocal during the covid & migrant crises and be out into public more often that he was between 2017 to 2021, he could have cemented his place as a strong challenger to the so-called double engine ki sarkar.
