BJP surprised everyone with their selection of Hindutva poster boy Yogi Adityanath as the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister. While Yoga guru Ramdev and BJP leaders like Uma Bharti are praising the decision, celebrities and politicians like Javed Akhtar, Azam Khan, and Praful Patel are shocked, to say the least.

NCP leader Praful Patel even said that BJP has been pressurised by RSS to appoint Yogi Adityanath as chief minister.
