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.

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.

Modi is autocratic and power-hungry. It is good that Yogi gives a damn about Modi.
