Mulayam Singh Yadav Election 2014

On the occasion of International Women's Day, the Samajwadi Party today named three women -- including party chief Akhilesh Yadav's wife Dimple Yadav -- in its list of candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. The 41-year-old will contest from Kannauj, a constituency from which she had already been elected in the 2012 bypolls and the 2014 genera...

The Samajwadi Party has released its first list of six candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav will contest from Mainpuri. In 2014, Mulayam Singh fought from both Mainpuri and Azamgarh, but chose to retain the latter. The Mainpuri seat was then won by Tej Pratap Singh Yadav, a member of the Yadav family.

As the Bhartiya Janta Party gets into battle mode in Uttar Pradesh for the 2019 general elections with Amit Shah launching a programme to induct first time voters into the party in Varanasi on Saturday, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav today said he would like to contest 2019 general elections from Kannauj constituency. Kannauj is presently...

After the Lok Sabha elections in 2014, Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav had retained Azamgarh, dumping his traditional turf Mainpuri. But on Sunday, thousands had gathered at Azamgarh's ITI ground to hear Mayawati.

What is the big picture? In 2007 (or even in 2014), it was a case of either the BSP or the BJP taking on the SP, as the party of the lotus and the party of the elephant both targeted key voter groups. In 2017, social alliances are changing. It may well be a BSP versus BJP battle, with the SP pushed down the ladder.

A stunning Lok Sabha victory for Narendra Damodardas Modi in 2014 also changed the course of Indian politics and contemporary history.

A furious Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav today tore into his son, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhikesh Yadav, over the party's rout in the national election and wondered at a meeting - "how will we tackle Narendra Modi in Parliament?"

Amit Shah pointed out this evening that in Uttar Pradesh, the BJP is winning all but seven seats, which he said would go to members of the Congress' Gandhi family and those of Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Mulayam Singh Yadav's family.

The BJP is likely to get 56 of the 80 parliamentary seats in strategically vital Uttar Pradesh, according to NDTV's exit poll. The outsize tally will play a key role in helping the BJP to cross the 272-mark to form the government with its existing allies.

Over 10.3 per cent voters exercised their franchise in the first two hours in Uttar Pradesh, where polling is underway on 18 seats to decide the fate of 328 candidates including Narendra Modi, Mulayam Singh Yadav and Arvind Kejriwal.

India's mammoth general election comes to a close today with voting in 41 constituencies across three states, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Bihar.

Tight security arrangements have been made for the last phase of polling tomorrow as more than 7,000 polling stations in the 18 seats, including Varanasi and Azamgarh from where Narendra Modi and Mulayam Singh Yadav are contesting respectively, have been identified as critical by the Election Commission.

Exuding confidence in formation of Third Front government at the Centre, Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav today claimed that Congress has shown inclination in joining the Front.

Narendra Modi's BJP holds not a single of the 15 constituencies in Uttar Pradesh that votes today in the eighth phase of polling. This region, which includes Rahul Gandhi's Amethi seat, was dominated by the Congress in the last election, contributing seven to its tally of 22 seats in state.

Less than a day before the BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi hits Uttar Pradesh in a high-voltage five-rally campaign, his right hand man Amit Shah sparked a fresh controversy by calling Azamgarh in the state a "base of terrorists".
