Aparna gets Y category security

Monday, 15 June 2020 | PNS | Lucknow

Yet another leader not belonging to Bharatiya Janata Party was given ‘Y’ category security by the UP government.

Samajwadi Party leader Aparna Yadav, who is daughter-in-law of SP patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav, was given ‘Y’ category security on Saturday.

Joint Secretary (Home) Sunil Kumar, in an order issued to Additional Director General of Police (Security), directed him to provide Y category security to Aparna Yadav.

Aparna Yadav, who contested from the Lucknow Cantonment seat in 2017 Assembly election on SP ticket and lost to Reeta Bhauguna Joshi, has praised Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on several occasions.

Sources said that her praises and closeness of her father-in-law Mulayam Singh Yadav with the chief minister got her the special security cover.

Earlier, Congress MLA from Rae Bareli Sadar Assembly constituency, Aditi Singh, was also given Y category security by the present government though her praise of Yogi Adityanath from time to time saw her party issuing disciplinary notice to her.

An application filed by Congress is pending with Assembly Speaker HN Dikshit for her disqualification from the House for siding with the ruling party and violating Congress whip.

In the recent controversy over the bus issue in which Congress state president Ajay Kumar Lallu is in jail, Aditi Singh had supported the government’s stand.
