Arrest of Yogi Adityanath

[Guest]

If somebody thought Yogi Adityanath is an old sadhu, reality is quite the opposite. A Physics graduate, he is in his mid 30s. In fact he was the youngest MP, at age 26, in the 12th Lok Sabha. He was doing his Phd, but dropped out to take up Math responsibilities. He has written a well researched book : "Yaugik Shatkarm and Hathyog"

His brief bio from Lok Sabha's website. My comments in red.
