Dimple Yadav, the wife of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has embarked on a campaign in Mainpuri, a constituency closely associated with her father-in-law and former Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav. Dimple’s visit to Mainpuri comes ahead of the 2022 by-elections, which are expected to be fiercely contested.
The rally, which took place at a local sports stadium, was attended by thousands of supporters who gathered to hear Dimple’s message and pay tributes to her father-in-law. Mulayam Singh Yadav, who passed away in December 2021, was a prominent figure in Indian politics for over four decades.
Dimple Yadav began her campaign in Mainpuri by addressing the supporters and outlining her party’s vision for the state. She also paid homage to her father-in-law, describing him as a true leader who dedicated his life to serving the people of Uttar Pradesh.
As Dimple Yadav campaigned in Mainpuri, she was seen wearing a necklace with a silver pendant bearing an image of Mulayam Singh Yadav. The gesture was widely interpreted as a tribute to her father-in-law and a nod to his legacy in Indian politics.
The visit to Mainpuri has been seen as an attempt by the Yogi Adityanath-led government to reconnect with the local voters and consolidate its hold on the constituency. The by-elections in Mainpuri are expected to be closely watched, given the significant presence of Mulayam Singh Yadav’s loyalists.
While Dimple Yadav’s campaign in Mainpuri has been largely seen as a gesture of goodwill, it also raises questions about the future of her family’s political dynasty. With Mulayam Singh Yadav’s passing, his legacy is likely to be reassessed by voters in Uttar Pradesh.
The visit to Mainpuri is part of Dimple Yadav’s broader efforts to re-engage with the local people and address their concerns. As she campaigned in the constituency, she was met with enthusiasm from her supporters, who hailed her as a symbol of strength and determination.
