Predominantly coloured in red, the bus is decorated with the images of the major schemes and projects launched by Mr. Yadav during his tenure: the Lucknow-Agra Expressway, Lucknow Metro, emergency services for women safety and health like 108 and 1090, free laptop distribution, etc.
The SP’s symbol, the humble cycle, also adorns the bus in the form of a life-size image of Mr. Yadav riding it. On the other side of the bus is a large image of his father, Mulayam Singh, who is expected to flag off the yatra from Lucknow’s La Martiniere College grounds. A loudspeaker, which would play the SP’s campaign song, has een fitted on the bus.
SP Cabinet Minister Rajendra Chaudhary said the bus, equipped with WiFi connection and CCTV cameras, will have facilities to enable Mr. Yadav to “rest, hold conferences and carry out his office work.”
The bus has a hydraulic lift that will enable Mr. Yadav to rise and address the crowd during the road show.
On the first day, from Lucknow to Unnao, he is scheduled to address people at more than a dozen locations. On Tuesday, as Mr. Yadav’s bus will drive to Unnao, with party supporters following, it will also shed focus on one of his biggest projects, the Lucknow-Agra Expressway, which passes through the route of his yatra.
