Akhilesh Yadav’s Wife Tests Positive For Covid, Is Fully Vaccinated

Lucknow: Former Samajwadi Party MP and Samajwadi Party’s Chief Akhilesh Yadav’s wife Dimple Yadav has been tested positive for Covid. In a tweet, the wife of former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav said she is fully vaccinated; however, she is in self-isolation.

“I got a Covid test is done, whose report is positive. I am fully vaccinated and not showing any symptoms. For the safety of myself and others, I have isolated myself,” Mrs. Yadav tweeted in Hindi.

“All the people who have met me recently are requested to get their test done soon,” she said.

It is not known whether Akhilesh Yadav has got himself vaccinated. He had said he would get vaccinated after his father Mulayam Singh Yadav decided to get the jab.

Akhilesh Yadav has been campaigning across UP for the assembly election just months away. He is also likely to get himself tested. He and Rashtriya Lok Dal leader Jayant Chaudhary are scheduled to address a joint rally in Aligarh tomorrow.

In January this year, Akhilesh Yadav had said he won’t get himself injected with a “BJP vaccine”, a comment that drew sharp criticism from leaders of the ruling party. The Samajwadi Party chief had then tried to make amends on Twitter the same day, saying he was not referring to scientists.

“I have never raised any questions on any scientist developing the vaccine or any person helping in making the vaccine. I only raised questions on the BJP as people do not have faith in the party because of the decisions taken by it,” Akhilesh Yadav had said.
