Branding himself after Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Alwar, Baba Balak Nath, has waded into the Assembly poll in Rajasthan on November 25 from Tijara constituency with the tagline “Rajasthan Ka Yogi”.
Apart from their saffron robes, the two monks have only one thing in common — they both belong to the Nath sect.
While 2019 was the first electoral battle for the 39-year-old monk, who travels in high-end SUVs and wears diamond studs, 2023 will be his litmus test as resentment is brewing in Tijara over the denial of ticket to former MLA Maman Singh Yadav alias Masterji.
