In his affidavit filed for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the prime minister identified himself as an untitled Adityanath. But in the case of Uttar Pradesh`s chief minister, Aditya Nath `Yogi`. uh, Yogi Aditya Nath, it was more than just a letter.

Subsequent press releases sent by the Department of Public Information did not help the cause, as some of them called him Aditya Nath Yogi, while others called him Yogi Aditya Nath. His verified Twitter handle says myogiadityanath. On his Facebook account is Yogi Adityanath. Yogi did not use any of his affidavits about the election. The nameplate at the Prime Minister`s official residence at 5 Kalidas Marg was changed on Tuesday to read Yogi Adityanath.

Yogi Adityanath was appointed chief priest of Gorakhnath Math in 1994.

After four years, he was elected to the lower house of the Indian Parliament. In the 12th Lok Sabha, he was the youngest member. He was elected to the Gorakhpur Parliament five years in a row. He also founded a youth organization called Hindu Yuva Vahini. Before he was sworn in as prime minister on March 19, the name tag read: Yogi Aditya Nath with “Yogi” in smaller fonts than the others. This was in line with the official name of the Gorakhpur MP, who read his name as Adityanath Yogi while taking the oath in front of thousands of supporters and a mob of politicians led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP leader Amit Shah. A few days later, when the “cleaning” of the prime minister`s sprawling office house was carried out by priests specially summoned by Gorakhnath Mutt in Gorakhpur, the name on the sign was changed to “Aditya Nath Yogi.” This plunged the media and officials into a whirlwind and led them to wonder what the reasons for this change were. “For us, it doesn`t matter what spelling his name is.

At least that`s what it seems, because the spelling of the new prime minister has been changed three times since he was sworn in on March 19. Some say Aditya Nath, while others say Adityanath.
