childhood and education
In a Rajput family, Yogi Adityanath was born on June 5, 1972, as Ajay Mohan Singh Bisht in the village of Panchur, Pauri Garhwal, Uttar Pradesh (now in Uttarakhand).[1][7][19][20][21] Anand Singh Bisht, his deceased father, was a forest ranger.He was one of six children—four brothers and three sisters—and the family's second-born.[24] In Uttarakhand, at the Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University, he earned his bachelor's degree in mathematics.[25][26]
Around the 1990s, he relocated to join the drive for the Ayodhya Ram temple. At about the same time, Mahant Avaidyanath, the leader of the Gorakhnath Math, accepted him as a disciple.[25] The push for the Ayodhya Ram temple was being led at the time by Mahant Avaidyanath. Adityanath, who was based in Gorakhpur after his initiation,
first political office
Yogi Adityanath is a member of the Hindutva political lineage in Uttar Pradesh, which dates back to Mahant Digvijay Nath, who oversaw the erection of idols inside the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya on December 22, 1949. Both Digvijay Nath and his successor Avaidyanath were members of the Hindu Mahasabha and were chosen to represent their respective parties in the Parliament. The two schools of Hindu nationalism converged in the 1980s when the BJP and the Sangh Parivar joined the Ayodhya movement. In 1991, Avaidyanath joined the BJP, but he still exercised considerable independence. Adityanath was elected to the Lok Sabha, the Lower House of the Indian Parliament, four years after being named Avaidyanath's successor.
After he won his first election,
He made the connections between Indian Leftist parties and Nepali Maoists a central campaign theme in 2006 and urged Madhesi leaders to resist Maoism in Nepal.[13][32] His convoy was allegedly ambushed in 2008 as it travelled to Azamgarh for a rally against terrorism. One person was killed in the incident, and at least six other people were hurt.[33][34]
Adityanath and other BJP officials gathered in January 2007 to mourn the loss of a guy who had been slain as a result of religious violence. The police later detained him and his followers and imprisoned them in Gorkhapur jail on allegations of upsetting the peace and disobeying prohibitory orders. His arrest sparked additional disturbances, during which six coaches of the Mumbai-Gorakhpur Godan Express were allegedly set on fire by him.
BJP-related relationships
Relations between Adityanath and the BJP have been tense for more than ten years.[41] He frequently mocked and attacked the BJP, denouncing its weakening of Hindutva doctrine.[42] He felt certain that he could impose his will on the BJP because he had created his own independent power base in Eastern Uttar Pradesh with the help of the Hindu Yuva Vahini and the Gorakhnath Math.[Reference needed] He revolted by running candidates against the official BJP candidates when his voice was not heeded. The most notable instance was the selection of Radha Mohan Das Agarwal from Gorakhpur on a Hindu Mahasabha ticket in 2002, who went on to easily defeat Shiv Pratap Shukla, a cabinet member for the BJP.[42] Adityanath threatened to run 70 candidates in 2007.
