According to hospital sources, Mulayam Singh Yadav was suffering from acute kidney failure which led to his health imbalance. In such a condition, doctors kept him in the hospital on continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) support and life-saving drugs, keeping him on dialysis for some time.

He joined as a teacher in 1963 in the same school where he studied. He used to teach Hindi and Social Science.

Influenced by socialist leaders in the movement led by socialist leader Ram Manohar Lohia in 1960, he was drawn to politics. In 1967, he formally started his political journey by contesting assembly elections from Jaswantnagar constituency and winning as an MLA.

Mulayam founded the Samajwadi Party in 1992, becoming a 10-time MLA and seven-time MP, representing various constituencies across UP. He rose to the post of UP CM for the first time in 1989. He served three terms as UP CM from 1989-1991. 1993–1995 and 2003 to 2007. He was the Defense Minister during the United Front government at the Center from 1996–1998.

The death of Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav, who was also the former Defense Minister of India, is a great loss to Indian politics. May God rest his soul and give strength to his family members," Congress wrote on its official Twitter handle.

The death of former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav Ji is very sad. His death marked the end of a major pillar of socialism and an era of struggle. I pray to God for the peace of the departed soul. My condolences to the bereaved family and supporters.
