Lucknow: The bad omen hit the much-hyped 'Vikas Rath Yatra' of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav as the hi-tech bus he was aboard developed snag minutes after it was flagged off from La Martiniere grounds in the state capital.
The Rath Yatra, which was flagged off by Samajwadi Party Supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav, on Thursday, had to be stopped about half a kilometre from its starting point due to some technical snag in specially designed Rs. five crore Mercedes Bus which was given the form of a Rath.
