Mulayam Singh Profile

We were working on profiling the now VVIP constituency - Lucknow. A short interaction with the man who has brought the spotlight on Lucknow - BJP candidate Rajnath Singh - was recorded and done. Next on the agenda was a "nukkad baithak" or street corner meet by Samajwadi Party candidate, veteran leader Ashok Bajpai.

He is diminutive but a never say die fighter, having learnt his skills as a young wrestler. On Tuesday, Mulayam Singh Yadav, aged 72, proved why he cannot be vanquished in his home turf. As his Samajwadi Party triumphed in Uttar Pradesh against all odds, it was clear the man's favourite wrestling lock, the dhobhi patak, remains intact.
