Indian politics suffered a major blow on October 10, 2022, after the founder-patron of the famous socialist party, Samajwadi Party, Mulayam Singh Yadav passed away. The news of his demise stunned Indian politicians and left a massive void that would never be filled. The politician often referred to as 'Netaji', had also served as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh for three consecutive years. Not only this, but Mulayam Singh Yadav had also served as the Minister of Defence from 1996 to 1998. Despite all the controversies and his infamous quote on rapes in India, Mulayam Singh Yadav was a massive figure in Uttar Pradesh's political history, courtesy of the fact that he was the patron of the Samajwadi Party.
Not everyone is aware that Mulayam Singh Yadav was once a wrestler and got into politics in the late 1980s. He had never wanted to be a politician during his childhood, but his destiny made him one of the most influential personalities in Indian politics. No doubt, his demise will have a massive impact on Uttar Pradesh's political future, as everything now belongs to his son, Akhilesh Yadav, who is still catching up to his father's mammoth legacy.
