Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Kalyan Singh breathed for last in Lucknow on Saturday night. Veteran Kalyan Singh was ill for a long period and was admitted to SGPGI. 

He was undergoing treatment at the Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences when he took his last breath. The 89-years-old BJP leader died of multiple organs failure. He held various organizational posts in the Bharatiya Janata Party at the state and the central level and was also a former governor of Rajasthan. He was instrumental in the rise of the saffron party to power in Uttar Pradesh in the 1990s.

Notably, Singh was the Uttar Pradesh chief minister when the Babri mosque was demolished by a mob of 'karsevaks' in Ayodhya on December 6, 1992. Singh quit as chief minister owning moral responsibility. Not that he had any regrets over his “failure” to save the mosque which he had assured the Supreme Court would be protected.
