Emerging as a socialist leader, Mulayam soon established himself as an OBC stalwart, capturing a swathe of political space vacated by the Congress.

During his first stint as the CM, Mulayam was riding on the rising political and social aspirations of people belonging to non-upper castes. In August 2003, Mayawati however resigned, clearing the decks for Mulayam to get sworn in as the CM for the third time. Amid growing social fragmentation and the BJP wooing several non-Yadav OBC castes, Mulayam was then increasingly being perceived as a leader of Yadavs and Muslims. The motion was adopted and the government survived. After taking over as the CM in August 2003, he contested the by-election from Gunnaur and won. The BJP staked claim to form the government as the single largest party, even as Mulayam claimed the support of 242 members belonging to all the non-BJP parties and some Independents. Mulayam took oath as the CM for the second time after the 1993 polls, in which the SP won 108 seats as against the BJP’s176 and the BSP’s 68. Subsequently, the Congress pulled the plug on both the governments, which led to fresh polls in UP as well as at the Centre. He became the CM for the second time in 1993 as SP leader, when the Kanshi Ram-headed [Bahujan Samaj Party](https://indianexpress.com/about/bahujan-samaj-party/) (BSP) became his ally. In the 1980 polls, when the Congress bounced back, Mulayam lost his seat to the Congress’ Balram Singh Yadav. He was sworn in as the CM for the third time in 2003 as the leader of an SP-led coalition. India’s most populous state was then also witnessing sharp communal polarisation in the wake of the

These twin features of his political and governance record discredited both the politics of social justice and the politics of secularism. And the BJP was able to exploit precisely these fault lines as it expanded in UP in 2014 and beyond. Yadav, who was once a leader of all backward communities in UP, saw his base shrink as he became a leader of the Yadavs within the expanse of the Hindu caste fold. Patronage opportunities in the bureaucracy had a strong caste subtext, with Yadavs suddenly getting a large share of police positions, and to a lesser extent, administrative positions. This came from hard work, from travelling relentlessly, from that personal nod and acknowledgment to supporters, from social engineering on the ground, and, most importantly, from being there for his base — supporting them when possible, protecting them when necessary, and empowering them when in power. He knew the mechanics of politics and social arithmetic in each district of UP. It was no surprise that this phase — despite its electoral ebbs and flows — coincided with the peak of Yadav’s political power, from being the raksha mantri of India to the chief minister of UP multiple times. It was a time when the Congress’s credibility with minorities had dipped and Hindutva was rising as a potent political force, driving Muslims across the Hindi heartland to look for political alternatives. It did not rest on his elite networks, for they were a product and not a cause of his success. In the next phase of his career, Yadav displayed remarkable political skills in first taking over the combined mantle of the Janata Dal and Bharatiya Lok Dal in India’s largest state. Along with it was another unlikely inheritance that would get reflected years later in Yadav’s tenure as raksha mantri (defense minister) — a fierce nationalist commitment and a clear-eyed view of the threat from communist China, for socialists, never shared the Left’s and ultra Left’s romantic view of Chairman Mao. And this is when Yadav became a member of the legislative assembly for the first time.

Samajwadi Party founder and patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav died on Monday at a Gurugram-based Medanta Hospital after a prolonged illness. He was 82-year old.

In November 1993, Yadav again headed a government in UP, supported by the BSP. Years later, he would be part of short-lived coalition of Janata Parivar parties that hoped to fight the 2015 Assembly elections in Bihar together. Akhilesh, the son from his first wife Malti Devi - he later married Sadhna Gupta - was at loggerheads with the old guard that included uncle Shivpal Singh Yadav. But the senior Yadav stepped aside so that his son Akhilesh could become the state's youngest CM at 38. And his presence on the scene provided the glue that held the Yadav clan together, at least to a degree. When the party split, he headed one faction of the state unit. Just as another comment, back in 2014 at a rally, triggered outrage when he spoke against the death sentence for rapists, saying boys make mistakes . Condolences to his family and lakhs of supporters. Thanks often to mergers and splits, he had been affiliated with a series of parties -- Lohia's Sanyukt Socialist Party, Charan Singh's Bharatiya Kranti Dal, Bharatiya Lok Dal and Samajwadi Janata Party. "'Dharti Putra' Mulayam ji was a veteran leader and was connected with the land. This, when his party saw Modi's BJP as its main rival in UP. The close association continued and I always looked forward to hearing his views.

However, in a career spanning over six decades, Yadav traversed a long distance – from being a firebrand socialist leader to presiding over one of the largest political dynasties in India. Having honed his skills in socialist tradition of anti-Congress politics, Yadav represents a class of politicians who emerged from the grassroots and later straddled the power corridors with great ease. He was also a vocal advocate of the politics of social justice and espoused the Lohiaite line pichdle paanve sau mein saat (backward castes should be allocated 60% share in government position). His foray into politics in 1967 coincided with a wide array of social and political changes in India and, perhaps, quickened the pace of some of these changes. Many are likely to remember him as a backward caste leader who championed the politics of social justice and secularism. Samajwadi Party patriarch and three-time chief minister (CM) of Uttar Pradesh (UP) Mulayam Singh Yadav’s steady rise in politics captures an arc of political developments in the Hindi heartland.
