His son and party chief Akhilesh Yadav said he’s in constant touch with doctors and that his father’s condition is normal. “After being COVID-19 positive, he has been admitted to Medanta Hospital in Gurgaon for health recovery. We are in contact with senior doctors and will give information from time to time,” he said on Twitter.

माननीय नेताजी का स्वास्थ्य स्थिर है. आज कोरोना पॉज़िटिव होने पर गुड़गाँव के मेदांता में उन्हें स्वास्थ्य-लाभ के लिए भर्ती कराया था.
