Dimple Yadav, wife of Akhilesh Yadav, filed her nomination for the by-election to the Mainpuri Lok Sabha seat.
Mulayam Singh Yadav's memories are still alive among the people, said Akhilesh Yadav today, as he predicted a record victory for Samajwadi Party from his father's Mainpuri seat in Uttar Pradesh.
Dimple Yadav, wife of Akhilesh Yadav, filed her nomination for the by-election to the Mainpuri Lok Sabha seat, which fell vacant after the death of Mulayam Singh Yadav last month. The Samajwadi Party founder was elected MP from this seat five times.
"Netaji (as the former Chief Minister was fondly referred to as) had a special connection with Mainpuri. All his struggles were from Mainpuri. He was blessed by the people of Mainpuri. Dimple Yadav is a candidate here and I am sure the people will support her," said Akhilesh Yadav.
