Uttarakhand BJP President Banshidhar Bhagat tested positive for Covid-19 on Saturday about five days after a major political event was held at his Dehradun residence on August 24. Bhagat tweeted his positive status on Saturday morning.
“Yesterday I underwent a Covid test in which the result was positive. I appeal to all party officials and workers who have contacted me in the last seven days to take a test, “said his tweet.
“With all your blessings, I will soon be back among you,” he added.
Several BJP members and people from the media were present at Bhagat’s residence on August 24, when MLA Pranav Singh ‘Champion’ was readmitted to the party after staying on hold for more than a year after his dance video with guns went viral.
