The Samajwadi Party founder and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister passed away at a private hospital in Gurugram on Monday.
His mortal remains were brought to Saifai on Monday evening and kept at his ancestral home where thousands descended to pay their last respects to "Netaji", as Yadav was fondly called by his followers.
Party workers and people in their hundreds -- riding cycles, motorcycles, cars, SUVs and other means of transport -- were headed to Saifai from nearby areas Tuesday morning for the final rites.
The cremation is to take place in the afternoon.
