Early life and education
Dimple was born in 1978 to the retired Indian Army Col SC[clarification needed] Rawat at Pune, as the second of three daughters. Her family is originally from Uttarakhand. Her parents now live in Kashipur (Udham Singh Nagar, Uttarakhand). Most of her family members served in the Army[citation needed]. She graduated in humanities from Lucknow University at age 21 and is married to Akhilesh Yadav, the incumbent (2014) Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh.[1] She's the sixth member from Mulayam Singh Yadav's family who has taken a plunge in politics.[2]
Dimple Yadav unsuccessfully contested the by-election for Lok Sabha constituency of Firozabad in 2009 against actor turned politician Raj Babbar.[3] The by-election was caused by her husband winning a seat in the May 2009 general elections both in this constituency as well as in Kannauj and taking up his seat from there.[4] Prior to her entry into politics, she had been involved in a disproportionate wealth case along with her family members.[5][6] She was elected unopposed from the Kannauj constituency to the Lok Sabha in 2012, after her husband caused another by-election by vacating the seat to enter the Uttar Pradesh legislative council. The election went unopposed after two candidates, Dashrath Singh Shankwar (Samyukt Samajwadi Dal) and Sanju Katiyar (Independent) withdrew their nominations. Bharatiya Janata Party and Indian National Congress had not nominated any candidates for the by-election; though BJP clarified later that their candidate missed his train so he failed to reach in time to file his nomination. This made her the first woman from Uttar Pradesh to elected unopposed in a Lok Sabha by-election, and second person after Purshottam Das Tandon's election from Allahabad West in 1952.
