Dimple and
Aparna Yadav are daughters-in-law of Mulayam Singh Yadav. They were in the
center of attraction during the family feud which made headlines in recent
months. Dimple, being the senior, has shown character by not making any
statement against any family members during those days. Aparna also shows that
she 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.
It was also
widely perceived that Aparna, her husband and her mother-in-law were the main
reason why Akhilesh Yadav had gone against Mulayam Singh Yadav in the run up of 2017 election. Dimple, though remained tight lipped, supported Akhilesh and
goaded him to not allow Mulayam to give power to his second wife Sadhana Gupta
along 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.
One more thing
needs to be mentioned here that Aparna is quite an independent minded woman,
unlike Dimple. She can put forth her point of view fearlessly. She had
supported Narendra Modi at many occasions. Even she went to the extent of
asking people to stand up against caste based reservation.
People feel that
Aparna can go a long way in the politics. Dimple will only remain a shadow of
Akhilesh Yadav. But, Aparna is different. She has never used the name of her
husband Prateek, who has no interest in the world of politics.
It will be
interesting to see the equation between Aparna and Dimple after election. In
all probability, Aparna Yadav will try her best to make her own individual
identity. She is already working with few NGOs and has made good name among
serious social activists.
