Former Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal, who has been regularly holding door-to-door election campaign in his home turf Lambi, has tested positive for Covid.
He is being taken to a Ludhiana hospital.
The 94-year-old SAD patron, while touring his constituency, hardly wore a face mask.
He met a number of party leaders, commoners, media persons and INLD secretary general-cum-MLA Ellanabad Abhay Chautala in the recent past.
The elderly Badal had last toured his home turf on Monday and cancelled the scheduled programmes of Tuesday, due to backache. However, later, he tested positive for Covid.
As per the protocol, Badal will have to isolate himself for a week.
As the state Assembly elections are due next month, it will affect the SAD’s election campaign.
