Who is not only the sister of Mulayam Singh Yadav, but is also the real aunt of Akhilesh Yadav. However, Mayawati’s name remained famous in politics as the sister of Mulayam Singh Yadav. However, the real sister Kamla Devi, despite staying away from the big hustle and bustle of politics, has become a living symbol of family values and a life connected to the land. Let us know about them in detail –
The story started from the rural environment of Saifai.
Kamala Devi Yadav was born in Saifai village of Etawah district, which has now become a symbol of Indian politics. His childhood was spent in a completely rural environment. A girl who grew up in the fragrance of soil, open air and simplicity of the village, who saw her brother Mulayam Singh struggling. 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
Kamala Devi still lives near Saifai’s family residence. She spends her daily life in rural environment only. Waking up early in the morning, helping in household chores, performing puja and helping the needy. Many times the local people address her as Badi Maa.
But his presence is neither on social media nor on the political platform. Her life is completely confidential and limited to the family circle, but she is recognized in the village as a kind, pious and respectable woman.
Kamla Yadav is a witness to her brother’s struggle
When Mulayam Singh Yadav was emerging in politics. At that time, from student politics to becoming the Chief Minister, Kamla Devi handled the domestic front of the family. Many old friends tell that in the initial days of Mulayam in Saifai, the women of the family took care of the house with sacrifice and cooperation.
Kamala Devi believes that ‘the biggest objective of politics is the welfare of the society, but the politics of values within the home is equally important.’ This is the reason why modern leaders like Akhilesh Yadav also give equal respect to their family relationships.
Simplicity is his identity
Kamla Devi’s life is no less than an inspiring story. She wears a simple saree, remains engrossed in worship without any ostentation and inspires the village daughters for education. Often guests coming to Saifai get food prepared by them. The elderly women of the village say that ‘Kamala didi is as soft and kind a person as Mulayam ji was a strict leader.’
For Akhilesh, she is more like a mother than an aunt.
During the childhood of Akhilesh Yadav, when Mulayam Singh was busy in politics, Kamala Devi played the role of a mother many times. Even today, she gives the same amount of love to Akhilesh’s children and even the youngest members of the family. In the complex world of politics where relationships often become formal, Akhilesh’s aunt Kamala Devi Yadav reminds us of the emotional heritage that the Saifai family still lives with simplicity, values and belongingness.
