When Mulayam was entering politics in his youth, Kamala Devi was taking care of the responsibilities of the house.
She was a woman of that era, who deeply understood the values of life despite being away from the resources of education and modernity. In the early days of Mulayam Singh, he played a big role in taking care of his family.
Stayed away from politics, but supported brother at every turn
Even though she stayed away from politics, she has always been a part of the soul of the Saifai family. It is said that whenever Mulayam or Akhilesh was in any family function or crisis, Kamala Devi was the first to step forward. She does not appear in front of the media or give speeches, but her opinion is always respected within the family.
His nature is considered calm and very restrained. According to the village tradition, she, like the elder sister of the family, has both affection and discipline on everyone.
Lives a simple life in the village
