Samajwadi Party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav passed away on Monday morning at a Gurugram hospital after prolonged illness. The 82-year-old had been hospitalised since August. Yadav spawned UP’s most prominent political clan. He was elected an MLA 10 times and an MP seven times. He also served as the defence minister, and thrice as the UP CM. He even appeared to have a shot at the prime minister’s post briefly.
Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot, Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel and former Madhya Pradesh CM Kamal Nath, representing the Congress, Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao, Telugu Desam Party chief N Chandrababu Naidu, former Union minister of state Praful Patel and Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav were the other dignitaries who paid their tributes to the socialist leader.

We had a very strong relationship. Mulayam Singh Yadav was a big personality in Indian politics, it is a huge loss for the country. We all have come here to pay our tribute to him. PM Modi could not come here but he asked me to pay tribute on his behalf.
