![]() Senior party leader Janeshwar Mishra had insisted that he should enter politics by contesting that bypoll. ![]() Sources said that while Shivpal was then reluctant to accept Akhilesh as the CM, Ramgopal and other family members stood by Mulayam’s decision.Īkhilesh, son of Mulayam’s first wife late Malti Devi, joined politics in 2000 at the age of 26 years, contesting and winning the Lok Sabha bypoll from Kannauj. However, Mulayam decided to pick Akhilesh for the CM’s post, sensing in it an ideal opportunity to establish Akhilesh in politics. When the SP won majority in the 2012 Assembly elections, a section of senior party leaders wanted Mulayam to take over as the CM again. Two years after the setback in the 2007 Assembly polls clinched by the BSP, Mulayam began encouraging Akhilesh, then an MP, to spend more time in Lucknow and meet party leaders and workers as he had future plans for him. The same year, his cousin Ramgopal Yadav was elected to the Rajya Sabha, while younger brother Shivpal Yadav became the Etawah Cooperative Bank chairman. ![]() While he took over as the CM for the first time as a Janata Dal leader, Mulayam floated the SP in 1992 with colleagues like Beni Prasad Verma and Reoti Raman Singh after the Janata Dal disintegrated.
