BJP’s city unit president, Vivek Saraswat confirmed the development. Lauding Kalyan Singh as a staunch Hindu, Saraswat said, “Late Babuji (Kalyan Singh) epitomised Hindu pride.

This day provides BJP workers with an opportunity to hear from senior party leaders, including Amit Shah.”

In the wake of this event, Rajveer Singh aka Raju Bhaiyya, who is the son of Kalyan Singh and serves as the MP from Etah, along with Sandeep Singh, Kalyan Singh’s grandson and a minister in the U.P. cabinet, conducted a review of the preparations on Sunday, August 20th.
Additionally, district magistrate (DM) Indra Vikram Singh and Aligarh’s senior superintendent of police (SSP Aligarh) Kalanidhi Naithani, held a series of meetings to ensure proper arrangements and security for the event.
The DM said, “The venue is being provided with three-tier security arrangements. Only individuals with valid passes will be permitted to attend the event. Additionally, the venue has been designated as a ‘No Flying Zone,’ and drones will not be allowed to fly near or above the venue on Monday.”
However, the administration has duly taken into consideration that Mondays during the Shravan month attract kanwariyas in large numbers and they start arriving as early as Sunday night. For that, they have made all the proper arrangements for the same.
As a precautionary measure, orders have been issued for the closure of schools in Aligarh city on Monday.
The public relations officer of AMU in Aligarh, Omar S Peerzada said, “In line with the directives from the Aligarh district administration, all schools affiliated with Aligarh Muslim University that offer classes up to the 12th grade are to remain closed on Monday.”
Former UP CM Kalyan Singh passed away two years ago. On his death anniversary, the state’s incumbent CM Yogi Adityanath come to Aligarh and stay there overnight. He was also part of the procession that carried the mortal remains of the former CM Kalyan Singh.
