Lucknow, Oct 4: Is former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Kalyan Singh set to return to the BJP?
Both the Bharatiya Janata Party and the saffron face of the Ram temple movement of the 1990s are quiet about his comeback. But close aides say it is near certain that "Babuji", as Kalyan Singh is known, will be in the BJP again.
A leader privy to the confabulations told IANS that the only thing to be decided was the timing and the role for the octogenarian leader.
Kalyan Singh has reportedly had fruitful meetings with the BJP brass in New Delhi, including party president Nitin Gadkari.
"There is considerable forward movement as far as satisfying the demands of Kalyan Singh is concerned," a BJP leader told IANS.
His arch rival and former BJP president Rajnath Singh too is on board this time round.
