Mulayam Singh Yadav Birthday: Today, the 86th birthday of Samajwadi Party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav is being celebrated with great pomp across the state. Netaji is known as a skillful politician. Mulayam Singh Yadav was born in Saifai on November 21, 1939. He was Chief Minister of UP three times. Furthermore, he has also been the Defense Minister at the Centre. Apart from this, he was an MP seven times and an MLA eight times. At the time of his death, Netaji was an MP from Mainpur.
He entered central politics in 1996.
Mulayam Singh’s entry into central politics came in 1996, when the United Front formed the government by defeating the Congress Party. He was appointed Defense Minister in this government led by HD Deve Gowda, but this government too could not last long and was out of power after giving India two Prime Ministers in three years. His move away from the ‘Bharatiya Janata Party’ seemed to indicate that he would be close to the Congress, but in 1999, without guarantees of his support, the Congress failed to form a government and relations between the two parties deteriorated. In the 2002 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, the Samajwadi Party fielded candidates for 391 seats, while in the 1996 elections it had contested only 281 seats.
