At the same time, Krishna Advani said, "Kalyan Singh was a veteran of Indian politics and a grassroots leader under whose leadership the BJP formed the government in Uttar Pradesh for the first time. He was loved by the people for working tirelessly for the upliftment of the weaker sections and contribution to the overall progress of the State.''

At the same time, recalling Kalyan Singh, he said, "Many memories of him during the Ram Janmabhoomi movement are still fresh in my mind.
