Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s father passed away in Delhi on Monday morning.
Yogi Adityanath’s father Anand Singh Bisht, 89, was undergoing treatment at AIIMS in Delhi. He passed away at 10.44 am on Monday, an official said.
Shishir Singh, Director Information & PR to the government of Uttar Pradesh, tweeted that the news came in the midst of a meeting. “The news of his father breathing his last came to him in midst of the meeting . Unfazed by the news @myogiadityanath stood up only after completing the meeting on COVID-19,” he tweeted.
The last rites of Anand Singh Bisht, father of UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath, were conducted in Rishikesh on Tuesday in the presence of close family members, Uttarakhand chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat and other ministers.
Yogi could not attend the funeral due to the nationwide lockdown and the last rites were conducted by the deceased’s youngest son Mahendra Bisht. The mortal remains of 90-year-old Bisht reached his ancestral village in Pauri Garhwal on Monday evening in an ambulance from All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Delhi, where he succumbed earlier in the day after undergoing treatment for the past three months. It’s really appreciated that CM Yogi Adityanath didn’t attend his fathers funeral due to the ongoing lockdown. Shows his respect towards India and his duties as the CM of UP
