When it comes to inspiring the people of India, it is our leaders that we look up to. But, it seems that the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav, is sending the wrong message when it comes to India’s fight against internet piracy.
In an interview to Times Of India, the Chief Minister was asked if he has watched Aamir Khan’s controversial film PK. He responded by saying ”People had been telling me for many days to watch PK. I downloaded it a few days ago, but only found the time to watch it last night. I liked it immediately and decided to make it ‘tax-free’ so that more people can watch it.”
An irresponsible statement by the Chief Minister of a state with the largest population in India. Is Akhilesh Yadav aware of the fact that downloading copies of a movie from the internet is illegal?
Lolzz its funny article.
That’s stupidity.How can a CM of a state promote piracy which is affecting the BO collection of movies Bollywood
Huge own goal…..
Looks like he is a follower of our Megha aunty ji who promotes internet piracy religiously here on Indicine….
Its ok you can’t expect a CM to watch film in theatre,will give a chance to opposition, that state is in crisis & CM is watching films.
We can’t expect anything better from this loggerhead. This father-son duo (Mulayam and Akhilesh) along with Mayawati have been looting the resources of UP since last one decade and so. Don’t know when will we get rid of such politicians :-(
The whole country knows Akhilesh Yadav and his father Mulayam Yadav are the biggest anti-national idiots of the country. They are the reason UP is the biggest criminal state in India and communal figts break out often.
Dumbest cm ever
2015 belongs to srk because fan and raess comming
Manish sharma is a great director in Bollywood.
@indicine will fan first look poster releasing this new year like CE,hny.
LOL
That’s UP for you. Instead of declaring tax free he should have given 2GB free 3G data to everyone so that everyone could watch the film for free and follow him.
UPians already have the “laptops” thanks to him
Horrible to say the least. Yes piracy exists but CM of a state making such a statement is bizarre. High time we choose iur netas more diligently.
Dumb politician. His foolish comment is being mocked all over twitter.
Downloading HD movies takes many hours and internet data means waste of time and money so it is much better to enjoy movies in big screen with good quality without any disturbance
Hahaha..This our youth CM that all were looking for…
I think he is inspired by Megha aunty.
Honestly Akhilesh Yadav and his father Mulayam Singh Yadav are the biggest fools . Akhilesh Yadav is really stupid . Whether he is aware or not but because of piracy Bollywood loses lot of money . Personally i never involve in such kind of activities . If i want to watch a movie 95% i watch it in a theatre and if i don’t want to watch or i can’t watch i watch the movie whenever it comes on TV . PK has been made tax free in UP that is a good thing . But these things should not be encouraged .
@indicine That’s what i said in the comment section of pk’s tax free article,these corrupt people sending wrong message to the society.
Rofl give Bharat Ratna To This Man
criminal minister…sab kuch sangat ka asar h…. jai ho safai mahotsav
Gave us a lot of hope when he started off with his pragati speeches. Alas a politician can only be a politician. The filthiest species.
I think He is not aware of the fact. That’s why he told it without any hesitation.
Up government is claiming they have licensed ufo movies to download movies online.Don’t know why a cm would have to lie about it,they can certainly license online movie portals.Anyways thanks akhilesh for making pk tax free.It’s the only sensible thing he has done so far.
akhilesh yadav should be next PM. Samajwadi party is better than BJP
All fake politicians…. One question to all politicians
… Their monthly salary is something around 40000 thosound…. But thier total wealth is around 500cr???? How??? Fake…. Holy shit…
What a retard.. iske bhaashan ke liye taaliyan ho jaaye!! :D
This guy is a joke himself. I feel sorry for those people who are suffering from politicians like him.
