From Mauritius to India – passing the baton – willingly or reluctantly8 min ago

New Delhi [India], Jan.24: It is public knowledge that Mulayam Singh Yadav was very reluctant to leave the post of Samajwadi Party president, but eventually could not withstand the show of strength and support exhibited by his son and incumbent Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, the long drama before the public notwithstanding. In contrast, however, is Mauritius, where Anerood Jugnauth, the Prime Minister, passed on the political baton peacefully and willingly to his son and the country’s Finance Minister Pravind Jugnauth, citing the need for “a young leadership”.
