Mulayam Singh Yadav, fondly called “Netaji” ("Leader"), was a member of parliament when he passed away. He previously served as chief of India's most populous state Uttar Pradesh thrice — from 1989 to 1991, 1993 to 1995, and 2003 to 2007.
Mulayam Singh Yadav, founder of the Samajwadi Party, the main opposition party in Uttar Pradesh, passed away on Monday morning at the age of 82.
The socialist leader had been undergoing treatment at the Medanta Hospital since August 22. However, on October 2, his condition deteriorated and he was shifted to the hospital’s intensive care unit (ICU).
He is survived by two sons – Akhilesh Yadav and Prateek Yadav.
Meanwhile, many other federal ministers, state chiefs, and politicians across parties have expressed their condolences.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the nation in condoling his death on Monday.
“Shri Mulayam Singh Yadav Ji was a remarkable personality. He was widely admired as a humble and grounded leader who was sensitive to people’s problems. He served people diligently and devoted his life towards popularising the ideals of Loknayak JP and Dr. Lohia,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a series of tweets.
President Droupadi Murmu also mourned Yadav's death.
“The achievements of Mulayam Singh Yadav ji, who came from an ordinary environment, were extraordinary. 'Dharti Putra' (Son of Land) Mulayam ji was a veteran leader associated with the land. People of all parties respected him. My deepest condolences to his family members and supporters,” the president said in a tweet.
The Bharatiya Janata Party-led Uttar Pradesh state government has
announced three days of state mourning over Yadav's demise.
