Lucknow, Jan 5 (IANS) Former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Kalyan Singh Tuesday celebrated his 78th birthday by announcing the formation of his new Jan Kranti Party, in which he will work as a “patron”.
“I will work as a patron for this party. The party will be led by Rajvir Singh alias Raju Bhaiyya,” Singh told reporters here.
“I will visit Ayodhya (in Uttar Pradesh) and pay obeisance to Lord Ram,” added the man who was chief minister when the Babri Masjid was brought down in Ayodhya in 1992.
Kalyan Singh was then in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He first broke away from the BJP in 1999, floating the Rashtriya Kranti Party (RKP).
For some time, he worked in tandem with Mulayam Singh’s Samajwadi Party, but returned to the BJP fold just before the 2004 Lok Sabha elections.
However, in January 2009, he left the BJP again, and was associated with the Samajwadi Party during the 2009 general elections.
