Rare footage of Mulayam Singh at home, at work and chatting with party colleagues in a very politico fashion. He is followed out by his very attentive cronies. He drives out of his house in a Daewoo Cielo car - remember that one, folks?
Mulayam Singh Yadav, (born November 22, 1939, Saifai, Etawah district, India), Indian politician and government official who founded and was the longtime leader of the Samajwadi (Socialist) Party (SP) of India. He served three times as chief minister of Uttar Pradesh state (1989-91, 1993-95, and 2003-07). Yadav was raised in a poor farming family near Etawah, in what is now west-central Uttar Pradesh, one of six children. He initially wanted to become a wrestler, but he went to college and completed a master’s degree in political science from Agra University. He became involved in politics at the age of 15, when he encountered the writing of the Indian socialist Ram Manohar Lohia. Lohia’s convictions on the equality of peoples and other social-justice issues strongly influenced Yadav’s own ideas about standing up for the rights of lower-caste Hindus and the minority Muslim population; his actions based on those principles marked his subsequent political career. Yadav found new political life after the 16th-century mosque was destroyed by Hindu right-wing activists in December 1992 and bloody rioting ensued. He and his newly formed Samajwadi Party (founded in October 1992) emerged as advocates for the Muslims, who credited him with supporting them when the Congress government in New Delhi failed to protect the mosque. In the November 1993 assembly polling in Uttar Pradesh, the SP won enough seats to form a coalition government, and the following month Yadav again became chief minister. His tenure this time lasted less than two years, the government falling after the pro-Dalit (“untouchable”) Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) left the coalition in 1995 and, with BJP support, took over the government. The SP made a dramatic comeback in the 2002 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, garnering a plurality, but not a majority, of seats. However, after the collapse of a short-lived BSP-BJP coalition government in 2003, the SP put together its own governing coalition, and Yadav became chief minister for the third time. Following the BSP’s trouncing of the SP in the 2007 state assembly elections, Yadav served as leader of opposition in the assembly (2007-09) before being elected again to the Lok Sabha in 2009. In early 2012 the SP won an outright majority in the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. Yadav retained his leadership of the party, but he stepped aside to allow his son, Akhilesh Yadav, to become the state’s chief minister. The elder Yadav was reelected in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, but his party could win only five seats in the chamber.
