NDTV
Political parties are aggressively campaigning in Uttar Pradesh in the build-up to the high-stakes February-March elections.
Samajwadi Party's Vijay Rath Yatra in Ayodhya, scheduled for January 9, has been cancelled as Covid cases continue to rise fuelled by the Omicron variant. Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has also called off his other rallies in Uttar Pradesh's Gonda and Basti on January 7 and January 8.
Political parties are aggressively campaigning in the state in the build-up to the high-stakes February-March elections.
Last month, Akhilesh Yadav had cancelled another rally in western UP and said he would stay away from public events for three days after his wife and daughter tested positive.
Mr Yadav shared his Covid-negative report on Twitter and said he had taken the decision as a precautionary move since his family members have been infected.
