New Delhi, Dec 24: Raising a significant question, Union Minister Anurag Thakur asked whether Rahul Gandhi had got himself tested for COVID-19 as Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, who had walked "arm-in-arm" with the Congress leader during the Bharat Jodo Yatra, was infected with the virus.

"The Himachal Pradesh chief minister has tested Covid positive during the yatra. That day, Rahul Gandhi was walking arm-in-arm with the chief minister. Did Rahul get himself tested for Covid," Thakur questioned.

 
Further, he also asked whether other participants of the Bharat Jodo Yatra had got their Covid tests done. "Will the Congress not adhere to Covid protocols? Is one family or one party above Covid protocols," Thakur asked. He said leaders of the Congress will be held responsible if there is a fresh spread of Covid in the country.
 
"Have Congress leaders decided to continue spreading misinformation about Covid as they did about the vaccines," Thakur asked.
 
"The health infrastructure of the country has to bear the brunt when several people get admitted to hospitals. And for this, leaders of the Congress who have spread misinformation and confusion about Covid are responsible," the Union minister said.

On Monday, 19th December 2022, Himachal Pradesh CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu tested positive for coronavirus. A state government official announced this as his meeting with the Prime Minister scheduled on Monday was postponed due to the infection. It is notable that Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu had recently participated in the Bharat Jodo Yatra led by Rahul Gandhi.

It is being speculated that it was the Bhaat Jodo Yatra where Sukhu came in contact with a large number of people and that he might have caught the infection in the Yatra led by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi. Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya wrote a letter to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, on Tuesday 20th December 2022, asking to follow the COVID-19 guidelines strictly during the party’s Bharat Jodo Yatra.

Sukhu, Pratibha Singh and other Congress leaders from Himachal had participated in the Bharat Jodo Yatra on Friday, 16 December.
