<br />
Ramakant Yadav had switched from the [[Samajwadi Party]] to the [[Bahujan Samaj Party]] in 2004 parliament elections,<ref name="elect">{{cite web|title=Azamgarh(Uttar Pradesh) Lok Sabha Election Results 2014 with Sitting M P and Party Name|url=http://www.elections.in/uttar-pradesh/parliamentary-constituencies/azamgarh.html|website=www.elections.in|publisher=elections.in|access-date=19 March 2017}}</ref><ref name="OIH">{{cite news|title=यूपी विधानसभा चुनाव 2017: आखिर रमाकांत यादव ने राजनाथ सिंह से क्यों लिया पंगा?|url=http://hindi.oneindia.com/news/features/rajnath-singh-are-anti-backward-former-azamgarh-mp-ramakant-yadav-why-380310.html|access-date=19 March 2017|work=hindi.oneindia.com|agency=One India Hindi|publisher=One India Hindi|language=hi}}</ref> before finally joining the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] in 2008.<ref name="Patrika1">{{cite news|title=Ex MP Ramakant yadav will stop Mulayam Singh Yadav in UP Election 2017|url=http://www.patrika.com/news/azamgarh/difficult-way-for-mulayam-singh-yadav-in-azamgarh-1300378/|access-date=19 March 2017|work=www.patrika.com|agency=Patrika|publisher=Patrik|date=2016-05-18|language=en}}</ref> [[Samajwadi Party]] supremo [[Mulayam Singh Yadav]] fought [[Member of parliament]] election against Ramakant Yadav and was able to win with very low margin. It was challenging and surprising for all political analyzers. This was because of his great bond with people as he has the image of "backward saviour" .<br />
<br />
He has a brother named [[Umakant Yadav]] Yadav, FORMER [[Bahujan Samaj Party|BSP]] [[Member of parliament|MP]]. One of his sons [[Arun Kumar Yadav (Uttar Pradesh politician)|Arun Kumar Yadav]] is presently the BJP MLA from [[Phoolpur Pawai (Assembly constituency)|Phoolpur Pawai]] in [[Azamgarh]] district of [[Uttar Pradesh]].
