Yogi Adityanath: The Rise of a Saffron Socialist
Who is the real Yogi Adityanath... beyond the persona of a firebrand Hindutva leader who has proved his mettle during his nineteen-year tenure as an MP? An obedient son? A loving brother? A dream disciple? A benevolent MP? A deft administrator heading one of the biggest maths in Uttar Pradesh? Or, a chief minister now committed to development and governance?
Yogi The Rise of a Saffron Socialist answers all these, and many more questions. It tracks the fascinating journey of
Ajay Mohan Singh Bisht from a nondescript village in Uttarakhand,
to the hallowed Goraksh Peeth in Gorakhpur, and then, eventually, to the chief minister’s residence in Lucknow, despite being a veritable outsider in the state BJP. Offering a unique ringside view, this book is replete with data and detail, outlining the man and his mission in all its facets and intricacies – and what this ‘saffron socialist’ means not just to Uttar Pradesh but, perhaps, to India as a whole.

A beautifully crafted creation of the life of the UP Chief Minsiter. What i like about Pravin's work in this book is how meticulously he has covered the journey of the most popular Indian Chief Minister

Being a poltical science student, I was amazed and inspired by this book. Pravin Kumar has done a brilliant job and I must acknowledge the research on the life of Yogi Adityanath.

Political thriller
More than a biography it reads like a political Thriller . Very fast paced with all suspense of a thriller

An amazing book on Ajay Mohan Bisht aka Yogi Adityanath. This read told me, that the book is not something about Saffron Socialism (atleast that's how he was made out to be), but the social factors that surround our society. The book is objective oriented and is a goodread for somebody who is interested in political biographies.
