Early life and education
Yadav was born in Saifai, Etawah District, Uttar Pradesh. He was born to Malti Devi and Mulayam Singh Yadav, later Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. He was schooled at the Dholpur Military School in Rajasthan, then obtained his Bachelor's and master's degrees in Civil environmental engineering at Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering (SJCE). He also has a master's degree in environmental engineering from the University of Sydney, Australia.
Yadav is a vegetarian. He married Dimple Rawat, who is also a politician, on 24 November 1999. The couple have two daughters and a son.
Political career
In the 2017 Assembly elections, the SP-Congress Alliance headed by Yadav won 55 seats and was defeated by the BJP. He submitted his resignation to Governor Ram Naik on 11 March.
Family feud
Since Yadav became chief minister, the family was divided into two feuding groups, one siding with him and the other with his father. Yadav had the support of his father's cousin, Ram Gopal. His father was supported by Shivpal (Mulayam Singh's brother) and friend Amar Singh.
On 30 December 2016, Akhilesh was fired from the party by his father one day after he released a separate list of candidates for the upcoming elections. He was readmitted to the party within a day. The following day he was elected as its national head by the party's national convention in Lucknow. This meant he replaced his father, who said the appointment was illegal. The matter appeared to be settled on 18 January when Mulayam recognised the decision of the Election Commission of India to accept Akhilesh as party president.
