I remember how hard Azam Khan tried to meet and placate Yogi inside the assembly corridors or Lok Bhawan.
But Yogi's politics meant that he had to decimate the biggest M leader of UP.
Unbelievable how he was one of the 4.5 CMs of UP during 2012-17.
Rajeev Shukla has a network base that can literally put your political mind in a state of cognitive dissonance.
I just saw him with a prominent businessman and BJP's insider man in Punjab. I mean he is everywhere.
The guy is an idol for budding fixers and brokers.
@aaryatiwarii गुरबत के दिनों में एक बार जोमैटो पर काफी सस्ता मटन मिल रहा था तो मैंने मंगा लिया।
एकाध निवाले खाने के बाद समझ आया कि श्वानभक्षी होने का खिताब मैंने जीत लिया है
Yogi commands massive respect among the BJP leaders.
In recent times, I've seen Suvendu Adhikari, Pankaj Chaudhary and now Kirtivardhan Singh doing it in public view. Not even counting Vidhansabha visuals.
I'm sure more would do if the fear factor is nil
Yogi is a unique phenomenon in Indian politics.
A man with scarce organizational backing, no deputy to manage affairs and good number of MLAs against him.
Yet, such is the force of his personality that Hindus across the nation see him as the designated successor to the PM.
No matter what anyone says, Shah is the final boss of UP politics.
Just look at the number of vehicles, leaders & workers who gather around his hotel when he is in UP. Contrast this with the crowd around Yogi or anyone else.
No doubt Sunil Bansal had an unreal influence.
@sanjeevsinghx I read rhe old Gazetteer (new one is mostly a reproduction of the same) and got to know about their contribution.
Will try to cover most of these books
