Mulayam Singh Yadav's Son Prateek Announces Divorce From BJP Leader Aparna Yadav

• Prateek Yadav, son of late Mulayam Singh Yadav, publicly announced his divorce from wife Aparna Yadav, a BJP leader, via an emotional social media post.
• Prateek accused Aparna of being selfish, power-hungry, and destroying family relationships, stating his mental condition was "very bad."
• The marriage has been strained since Aparna left the Samajwadi Party to join the BJP in 2022 without Prateek's consent, a move that shocked the Mulayam family.
• Aparna Yadav, currently vice-chairperson of the Uttar Pradesh State Women’s Commission, has not yet responded publicly to the allegations.
• Prateek, unlike Aparna, has stayed out of politics, focusing on real estate, fitness businesses, and an animal welfare non-profit.
