The swearing-in happened in Lucknow a week after the BJP won a landslide mandate in the assembly elections with 312 seats. In a surprise announcement, Yogi Adityanath’s name was announced on Saturday evening. The politician-priest with his shaven head and trademark saffron robe has been the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Hindutva mascot and consistently commissions headlines, most often because of his controversial statements.
