December 14, 2020 Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanathâs forays into Maharashtra takes one back to the days of former Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav and his being bedazzled with Bollywood. At that point in time, Yadavâs comrade in arms, Amar Singh, introduced him to well-known names including Amitabh Bachchan. That Singh and Bachchan fell through later is common knowledge but way back in the nineties their friendship was a tale fit for story books: as was their rift. Singh cried betrayal while the politically correct Bachchan said nothing. But then that is Bachchanâs style: to remain out of controversy and stay silent when he, as the face of Bollywood and a senior artiste, should be the first to speak up.
