00:00He was the most favorite child of the mother.
00:02He was like the energetic one.
00:04He used to run anywhere to get things.
00:06He used to take time from the temple to the priest.
00:07So he was like the dearest child.
00:14To my understanding, he is meeting inside the house
00:17with his mother
00:19first time after taking Sanyas.
00:21So that is almost 27-28 years.
00:24So the photograph which Yogetanath has posted
00:27with a very simple text, Ma,
00:31it's taken inside the house where Yogetanath was born and brought up.
00:35Though he is born and brought up in multiple houses.
00:37This was his last settlement.
00:39And after this, he took Sanyas from this house.
00:42Panchur village in Yamkeshwar block.
00:45A house of 2-3 rooms, a blue colored house.
00:48Just see the simplicity of that house, right?
00:50I mean, the biggest palace, the most populated palace.
00:53It's a very powerful, powerful house of Chief Minister.
00:57In a way.
00:58That's not a usual sight.
01:00Because the photos that we have seen of politicians' houses
01:03is very, very different.
01:08He told me that Ajay was very disciplined for his school.
01:11He used to pack his bags nicely at night and go in the morning.
01:15He used to feed the cow first thing in the morning.
01:17After going to the school, coming back,
01:19his task was among the six brothers and children
01:23to take the cows to the field.
01:24He told me that he used to say repeatedly that he had a very good company.
01:28What does it mean?
01:28I mean, he used to live with his friends, good people.
01:31He didn't have a bad company.
01:32He used to listen to stories a lot.
01:33His elder sisters.
01:34All the sisters are older than him, right?
01:38So he used to listen to stories from them.
01:39There are many temples nearby.
01:41We used to go there often.
01:46He used to live a little scared of his father.
01:48His father was a little strict.
01:49His father was a forest ranger.
01:51So his dress was like a police uniform.
01:54So his look was like a police uniform.
01:55And he was wearing a badge.
01:57Almost you look like a police officer from a distance.
01:59Once his father told that Ajay's friends used to think that he was a police officer.
02:01They used to get scared of him.
02:02And he laughed a lot after saying this.
02:04He got a guard then.
02:06Because there is a protocol from the Uttarakhand government, right?
02:09So he said,
02:10At that time, they used to think that I was a police officer.
02:11Now I have a real police officer with me.
02:12And he started laughing again.
02:14He held my hand and said that the blue house that you have seen,
02:17that's my only property.
02:18And then he stopped.
02:19And he almost choked a little bit.
02:21With the teary eyes.
02:22And then he held my hand a little tighter.
02:25And he said,
02:25But my biggest property is my honest chief minister's son.
02:28For example, his father passed away.
02:30When his father died in Corona.
02:32Though not of Corona.
02:33But died during Corona.
02:34He was not able to go even.
02:35Because he was battling with Corona in his own state.
02:42In between, she used to say Maharaj Ji.
02:44And in between, she used to say Ajay.
02:45Because she is a mother.
02:47She is a mother, right?
02:48So suddenly, Ajay used to come to her mouth.
02:49So she used to correct herself.
02:50No, no, no.
02:51Yogi Adityanath.
02:52No, Maharaj. Maharaj Ji.
02:53We asked her many times.
02:54Did she scold you for anything?
02:56Did you do any mischief?
02:58Right?
02:58We want to ask that.
02:59Right?
03:00So she said,
03:01No, she didn't scold me.
03:03She didn't scold my father.
03:04So I used to save her.
03:06Right?
03:06Even if she scolded me.
03:08It felt like,
03:09He was the most favorite child of the mother.
03:12He was like the energetic one.
03:13He used to run anywhere and get things.
03:15He used to take time from the temple priest.
03:17So he was like the dearest child.
03:19Although, I know mothers and parents can't differentiate between children.
03:23But there is a saying that,
03:24You have more attachment to one child than the other.
03:25You listen more.
03:27So it seems,
03:28Ajay Singh was Yogi Adityanath's dead child for Savitri Devi Ji.
03:35There was a story that,
03:37As soon as he joined college,
03:40There was a saying that,
03:40I want to join the union.
03:42I want to join the college union.
03:44So he joined SFI.
03:47The famous left wing union of JNU.
03:49Right?
03:50He joined SFI.
03:51Right?
03:51Then later he told me why he joined.
03:53Because his sister was married there.
03:54And his sister's brother-in-law.
03:57Right?
03:58His brother-in-law was there.
03:59He was also in college.
04:00He took him along.
04:01Then after some time,
04:02He said that there are a lot of unions.
04:04And this is SFI.
04:05And when they had a meeting,
04:05He didn't resonate with his ideas.
04:08And then he switched over to ABVP.
04:11He left without telling his parents that he is going to take Sannyas.
04:14He said,
04:14I am going to Gorkhpur.
04:16To do a job or something.
04:17His parents were also not clear that he would be going.
04:20And then he left.
04:21And through newspaper news,
04:23The parents got to know that their son is taking Sannyas.
04:26And in fact,
04:27He is the heir apparent for this big matkal,
04:29Gorakhnath Matkal.
