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.
After posters surfaced condemning VC Tariq Mansoor, UP minister Mohsin Raza said VC acted as per 'our culture' and people with 'Talibani thinking' will be dealt with accordingly.
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.
Singh, the UP CM when the Babri mosque was demolished by 'karsevaks' on 6 December 1992, was among 32 people acquitted in the demolition case in September last year.
The 89-year-old was admitted to the ICU at Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences on 4 July due following an infection and reduced consciousness.
The graduation is meant to bolster the legacy and legitimacy of Sheikh Hasina's Awami League, even as the real-world preparedness lagged behind the glossy narrative.

It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
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.
