With all fanfare on 5th September the Lucknowites will get its first metro ride. Union Home Minister and MP from Lucknow, Rajnath Singh along with CM Adityanath will flag off the metro rail at Transport Nagar Station.

In first stretch, the Metro rail will cover 8.5km of the city and eight stations from Transport Nagar to Charbag Railway Station.  It was all smooth till Samajwadi Party was keeping mum on this issue, but before the arrival of Rajnath Singh on Monday, the two photos of Ex-CM Akhilesh Yadav had detested the saffron party of their Metro inauguration plan.

Samajwadi Party chief spokesperson Rajendra Chaudhary had released two photographs of Akhilesh Yadav symbolic inauguration of his dream project Lucknow Metro Rail in the background of red metro engine. These photographs show that then CM is handing over the key to the women pilots in the red metro back ground. Rajendra Choudhary in his press release sarcastically says, "In last five months, BJP had done nothing but changed the name of Akhilesh Yadav programmes and this project is classic example  how one can rob the programme and policies of other party."

Yogi govt had planned big for the inauguration of this metro rail in Lucknow, where Rajnath Singh is specially coming for it. Akhilesh Yadav  couldn't inaugurate because the Centre govt had not given the NOC for the metro run. Akhilesh Yadav had made this NOC a political issue in his election speech that he had completed the first stretch and it only need an NOC from Centre to start.

This photo of inauguration by Akhilesh Yadav along with his MP wife Dimple Yadav is now released for media, where as CM Akhilesh is handing over the keys to women pilots of Metro rail. According to press release, the metro station was ready by that time even names of metro station were written in English-Hindi and Urdu, this was deliberately made late to the take credit.

Finally, the Akhilesh camp is waiting for 5th September inauguration programme and will carefully watch if he is being invited or not. People close to Akhilesh say they will keep tab on what big leaders of BJP say about this dream project of Akhilesh Yadav.
