Why is Yogi Adityanath trending in Nepal?

India Today  

Across the border in Nepal, a political earthquake is brewing, and somehow, posters of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath are right in the middle of it. During the rally, which was intended to demonstrate support for the reinstatement of the monarchy in Nepal, some loyalists allegedly held up photographs of Adityanath alongside that of the former king. After the backlash, RPP spokesperson Gyanendra Shahi claimed that displaying Adityanath’s photographs during the rally was a ‘deliberate attempt’ to malign the pro-monarchist movement by the government led by Nepal Prime Minister KP Oli. “The photograph of Yogi Adityanath was displayed in the rally at the instruction of Bishnu Rimal, chief advisor of Prime Minister K P Oli, at the advice of Oli,” Shahi claimed in a social media post.
