Dimple andnAparna Yadav are daughters-in-law of Mulayam Singh Yadav. They were in thencenter of attraction during the family feud which made headlines in recentnmonths. Dimple, being the senior, has shown character by not making anynstatement against any family members during those days. Aparna also shows thatnshe understands the political situation better. However, Aparna’s patience runs out when Dimple compelled Akhilesh to not give any political space to her. She had to raise the flag of revolt and joined the BJP just before 2022 Assembly Election.

nIt was alsonwidely perceived that Aparna, her husband and her mother-in-law were the mainnreason why Akhilesh Yadav had gone against Mulayam Singh Yadav in the run up of 2017 election. Dimple, though remained tight lipped, supported Akhilesh andngoaded him to not allow Mulayam to give power to his second wife Sadhana Guptanalong with Prateek and Aparna.

The ouster of Aparna has made it clear that Prateek and Sadhana Gupta will not have any clout on the political legacy of Mulayam Singh Yadav. It is a story which is similar to that of Maneka Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi.

nOne more thingnneeds to be mentioned here that Aparna is quite an independent minded woman,nunlike Dimple. She can put forth her point of view fearlessly. She hadnsupported Narendra Modi at many occasions. Even she went to the extent ofnasking people to stand up against caste based reservation.

nPeople feel thatnAparna can go a long way in the politics. Dimple will only remain a shadow ofnAkhilesh Yadav. But, Aparna is different. She has never used the name of hernhusband Prateek, who has no interest in the world of politics.

nIt will beninteresting to see the equation between Aparna and Dimple after election. Innall probability, Aparna Yadav will try her best to make her own individualnidentity. She is already working with few NGOs and has made good name amongnserious social activists.
