Former Uttar Pradesh CM Akhilesh Yadav's convoy of 175 cars passed a toll plaza in Barabanki without paying the toll tax. “They were all with Akhilesh Yadav and were present at the Rate Yatra,” said toll plaza officer AS Chauhan.
Toll tax policy on national highways states that toll tax is exempted for the State’s Chief Minister, but not for former CMs.
