Etawah, where ‘gathbandhan’ clicked in 1991

At the peak of the Ram Temple movement in 1992, the BJP victory march was stopped dead on its tracks when Mulayam Singh Yadav and Kanshi Ram entered into an alliance. The slogan of ‘Mile Mulayam Kanshi Ram, hawa main ud gaye Jai Shri Ram’ rent the air and the BJP was trounced. Yadav, then, emerged as the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh.
