Mulayam Singh Yadav had been under critical condition for the past few days.
In July this year, the SP patriarch's wife Sadhna Gupta passed away after undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Gurugram for a lung infection.
Born on November 22, 1939, the SP founder and three-time Uttar Pradesh chief minister was elected 10 times as MLA and seven times as Lok Sabha MP.
He has also served in the Union Government as the Minister of Defence. He was often referred to as Netaji by party leaders and workers.
President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed sadness over the death of the renowned leader.
श्री मुलायम सिंह यादव का निधन देश के लिए अपूरणीय क्षति है। साधारण परिवेश से आए मुलायम सिंह यादव जी की उपलब्धियां असाधारण थीं। ‘धरती पुत्र’ मुलायम जी जमीन से जुड़े दिग्गज नेता थे। उनका सम्मान सभी दलों के लोग करते थे। उनके परिवार-जन व समर्थकों के प्रति मेरी गहन शोक-संवेदनाएं!

He added, "Mulayam Singh Yadav Ji distinguished himself in UP and national politics. He was a key soldier for democracy during the Emergency. As Defence Minister, he worked for a stronger India. His Parliamentary interventions were insightful and emphasised on furthering national interest."
Reactions and tributes continue to pour in following the death of Mulayam Singh Yadav.
I join my father & all my colleagues in conveying our heartfelt condolences to @yadavakhilesh & his entire family. Neta ji was a towering personality & his contribution to UP & the rest of the country will not be forgotten. May his soul rest in peace. https://t.co/UndVFrUCxh
