"The revered 'Babuji,' an embodiment of devotion, sacrifice, and dedication, gave a new momentum to the development of Uttar Pradesh through his people-welfare policies and firm administrative resolve. His life is a unique example of dedication to society and the nation," he added.

Kalyan Singh passed away on August 21, 2021, at Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGI) in Lucknow due to sepsis and multi-organ failure.

Singh served as Uttar Pradesh CM twice, from June 1991 to December 1992 and September 1997 to November 1999, and was Governor of Rajasthan from 2014 to 2019. He also held multiple organisational roles in the BJP at both the state and central levels.

Kalyan Singh was the CM when the Babri Masjid was demolished. A few hours after the demolition, he resigned as Chief Minister. The Congress-led Union Government then dismissed the Uttar Pradesh state government on the same day. Singh later faced legal proceedings and was jailed for a single day over the incident.

While it's important to remember leaders like Kalyan Singh ji, I hope this meeting also focused on current issues in UP - unemployment, women's safety, and better healthcare facilities. Development should be for all.

Kalyan Singh Babuji was a true karyakarta. His sacrifice during the Ram Janmabhoomi movement is legendary. It's good that CM Yogi is keeping his legacy alive. A fitting tribute on his birth anniversary.

Interesting to read about this political history. As an observer, the narrative around the 1992 events is very specific to the Indian context. The meeting seems routine, but the historical tribute adds a deeper layer.

Respectful tributes are fine, but we must also learn from history. That period was very painful for the social fabric of the country. Moving forward, the focus should be on inclusive development that unites all communities.
