The RSS loved both poster boys of Hindutva—Kalyan Singh & Yogi Adityanath. Singh faced rebellion from within the BJP after 1999 polls. Yogi is also under siege from within after 2024 polls.
At launch of his book, Swarup, who served under the then UP CM, said Kalyan Singh was against mass mobilisation of kar sevaks & was trying to find peaceful solution to Ayodhya dispute.
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor called the incident an ‘insult’, while Samajwadi Party leader Ghanshyam Tiwari said it was typical of BJP to place party above nation.
Nick Jonas is not trying to modernise the mangalsutra, but his gesture shows that choices can be equal. If commitment must be flaunted, it need not be gendered.
It is ironical that after the 2002 Gujrat riots, when Vajpayeeji tried to intervene, Modi told them to leave Gujrat matters to him and focus only on Delhi. When Vajpayeeji wanted to sack Modi, Advaniji supported Modi. If Modi could tell central leadership to leave the state affairs to him when he was CM, why does he now wants to control all BJP-ruled states, why he could remove Vasundhara Raje, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Raman Singh with impunity? Modi is autocratic and power-hungry. It is good that Yogi gives a damn about Modi.
