Mulayam Singh Yadav was an Indian politician, a socialist figure and founder of the Samajwadi Party. Over the course of his political career spanning more than six decades, he served for three terms as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, and also as the Union Minister of Defence in the Government of India. A long-time parliamentarian, he was a seven-time Member of Parliament representing Mainpuri, Azamgarh, Sambhal and Kannauj constituencies in the Lok Sabha, a ten-time member of the Legislative Assembly, member of the Legislative Council and the Leader of Opposition several times as well. Yadav was a prominent figure of his time in Uttar Pradesh politics, and was often referred to as Netaji and sometimes Dhartiputra by his party leaders and workers. Known for several controversies, Yadav was one of the few politicians to be labelled "Supporter of Rape and Rapists" due to his comments on rape and anti-women views and opinions. In 2023, he was posthumously conferred with Padma Vibhushan, India’s second highest civilian award by the Government of India.
