Assam CM Himanta condoles death of Mulayam Singh

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday condoled the demise of Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav.

” The demise of Shri Mulayam Singh Yadav ji is a colossal loss to Indian politics. For many decades he ruled the hearts of millions. I am pained beyond words. My condolences to @yadavakhilesh ji, family, friends & followers, who are all anguished at the passing away of Neta Ji,” Sarma tweeted.

Yadav, 82, who was admitted to a private hospital in Gurugram last August and shifted to the ICU for the past one week, lost his battle with life on Monday morning.

Among the tallest leaders of Uttar Pradesh, Yadav was elected as MLA for 10 times and served as the state Chief Minister thrice — 1989-1991, 1993-1995 and 2003-2007.
