Mulayam Singh Yadav is miffed with the Congress. This is in spite of the fact that the Congress did not put up a candidate against his daughter-in-law Dimple in the Kannauj Lok Sabha byelection, helping her win without a contest. Although Mulayam has not spelt it out, his grievance is similar to that of Mamata Banerjee, with whom he has made common cause to embarrass the Congress by rejecting its choice of candidates for the presidential election.
