Is Akhilesh’s UP Election Lead a Harvard Professor’s Doing?

Jarding’s clients have included Hillary Clinton, former US Vice-President Al Gore and Spanish PM Mariano Rajoy.

Back in September, when the rift in Samajwadi Party was in its infancy, Akhilesh Yadav had a tête-à-tête with Harvard Professor Steve Jarding for his election campaign, as The Times of India reported.

Jarding was roped in to help chalk out his election campaign for the polls beginning on 11 February. Jarding’s former clients include Hillary Clinton, former US Vice-President Al Gore and Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.

With just over a month for the polls to begin, Akhilesh is the front runner for becoming the CM of the state, for the second time.
