BJP leaders, specially Kalraj Mishra and Lalji Tandon, both cabinet ministers in the two governments of Kalyan Singh in Uttar Pradesh, have reportedly fallen in line vis-a-vis Kalyan Singh.
With Vajpayee out of active politics owing to ill health, Lalji Tandon is happy to be an MP from Lucknow and does not harbour any larger ambitions, an insider says.
Kalraj Mishra, now a first time legislator, is also said to be "okay" with Kalyan Singh's return as long as his honour and seniority in the BJP is not affected.
All 208 candidates of Kalyan Singh's Jan Kranti Party (JKP) lost in the Uttar Pradesh polls. Son Rajbeer was defeated in Debai in Bulandshahr and daughter-in-law Premlata in Atrauli in Aligarh.
The JKP leader will meet his party's rank and file in Lucknow Oct 5 where he is likely to discuss the BJP offer which came his way through Vinay Katiyar after the Surajkund BJP national conclave.
