Mumbai :- Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari has expressed condolences on the demise of former UP Chief Minister and veteran Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav. In a condolence message, Governor Koshyari said:
” Mulayam Singh Yadav was a stalwart in the politics of the nation, and especially in that of Uttar Pradesh. He had a strong grip over politics because of his wider public relations and organisational skills. A good parliamentarian, Mulayam Singh created his own mark as Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and as Defence Minister of the country. I had the privilege of knowing Mulayam Singh intimately even before I became a member of the UP Legislative Council. He had friendly relations with people from across the political spectrum. In his demise, a major chapter in the politics of UP has come to an end. I pay my homage to the departed leader and convey my deepest condolences to Akhilesh Yadav and other members of the bereaved family.”
