Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar visited the Medanta hospital on Wednesday to enquire about Yadav’s health. He also met Yadav’s son and SP chief Akhilesh Yadav.

Soon after Yadav was shifted to the ICU, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had spoken to Akhilesh regarding his father’s health and assured him of all possible assistance, people familiar with the matter said.
Yadav is one of the most prominent leaders of Uttar Pradesh. He has served as the chief minister of the state thrice and has also served in the Union government as the minister of defence. He has been elected 10 times as MLA and 7 times as Lok Sabha MP.
