The Samajwadi Party (SP) on Sunday named Aparna Yadav, the younger daughter-in-law of party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, as its candidate for the Lucknow Cantonment assembly constituency.
This was revealed through a statement from the party's principal spokesman and Public Works Department Minister Shivpal Singh Yadav.
Aparna, who is active in social work, is the daughter of senior journalist Arvind Singh Bisht, one of the information commissioners in Uttar Pradesh.
