NEW DELHI: Samajwadi Party (SP) founder and supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav, who died at the age of 80 in a hospital in Gurugram on Monday, was a sitting member of Lok Sabha from Mainpuri constituency in Uttar Pradesh.
The seat has fallen vacant with his death. The immediate challenge before SP, led by Mulayam’s son Akhilesh Yadav, would be to retain Mainpuri in the byelection which should be held within six months.
