The music director who composed for Akhilesh Yadav

Nikhil Kamath composed more than 25 songs for the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav
Music director Nikhil Kamath was the sole Bollywood composer who composed more than 25 songs for the election campaign for the Samajwadi Party. The newly elected CM of Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav was so impressed by the compositions of Nikhil that he asked him to compose the Samaajwadi Anthem as well.
"Kamath gave a new sound to the anthem keeping in mind the new look that Akhilesh Yadav wanted to give the party. Nikhil blended modern beats with symphonic violins and a huge orchestra of over 60 musicians to create the anthem. The other election songs composed by Nikhil were also totally different from the normal pattern of election songs", says a source closely associated with the musician.
The song immediately caught the attention of the masses and classes during the rath yatras which Akhilesh Yadav took out during the election campaigns. "Every rath yatra was backed by a new song. Akhilesh himself took personal interest in all the songs and was in constant touch with Nikhil Kamath throughout the campaign", adds the source.
Furthermore even local singers of his party like Acchelal Soni and lyricist Asim Yadav got their songs composed by Nikhil.
