U.P. C.M. Yogi Adityanath & Other saffron leaders with strong presence in Indian politics ! Must Read !
Bringing an end to the speculations regarding the name of Uttar Pradesh’s chief minister, BJP on Saturday picked the controversial star face of the party, Yogi Adityanath. An MP from Gorakhpur constituency in East UP for five consecutive terms since 1998, Adityanath is known more for his fanatic Hindu image than his political acumen. He is the head priest of the Gorakhnath Mutt, a Hindu temple in Gorakhpur and is the founder of Hindu youth organisation, “Hindu Yuva Vahini”. His strong belief regarding the fate of India as a Hindu nation has earned him the epithet, “Hindu Hridya Samrat” by his supporters.
For Yogi Adityanath, politics and religion go hand in hand and it is precisely this ideology that has helped him maintain a firebrand Hindutva image. However he is not the first politician in India to appeal to the masses through an image projecting Hinduism’s predominance in the country. Read below about a few Hindu ascetics who went on to achieve political gains in the country.
