Throughout his childhood, Ajay exhibited a deep passion for caring for the family’s cows, immersing himself in tales of freedom fighters, and actively participating in school debates. Through sheer determination and unwavering resolve, Ajay eventually ascended to become the Mahant of Gorakhnath Mutt, the youngest member of the Indian parliament, and ultimately the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. “Ajay to Yogi Adityanath” encapsulates a tale of resilience, perseverance, and hard work, aiming to inspire and motivate young students.
The book also features an array of puzzles and games centered around Yogi Adityanath.
