Hindu Yuva Vahini formed a parallel group

The Hindu Yuva Vahini (HYV), founded by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has split with Sunil Singh, a close confidante of the Gorakhnath Peth Mahant, formed a parallel group.

The split of the HYV is said to be a setback for the Chief Minister as he himself was leading the organisation which worked under him since it was formed in 2002.

 The HYV’s UP unit president Sunil Singh has declared himself as the national president of the organisation replacing Adityanath. Singh, once a close confidant of the CM, said here on Monday that he was forced to float a parallel outfit after Adityanath removed him from the organisation.

 “Yogijee was my political guru but the way he removed me after he became CM has annoyed the activists of the HYV. This forced me to make this new organisation on the same name,” he said.

 Singh said after Adityanath became the CM, the HYV activists have been sidelined and even the party activity was stopped. “On the request of the party workers, I had to take such decision, which is harsh but required,” he stated claiming that Adityanath is still his guru and his act was not against the CM.

The decision to form separate outfit angered CM as he ordered suspension of the caretaker of VVIP Guest house where meeting was held on Sunday evening.

“This decision of the government has come as a big surprise. The room in the guest house was booked by BJP MP from Mohanlalganj  Kaushal Kishore who also made payment for the food. It is unfortunate that a government officer was punished for political reasons,” he said.
