New Delhi, April 6: Member of Parliament from Domariyaganj, Jagdambika Pal has quarantined herself after testing positive for COVID-19.

“After returning from West Bengal assembly election campaign, I caught fever and headache, I took COVID test and the reports were found to be positive. Since that time, I am under home quarantine,” the 70-years-old Minister tweeted in Hindi.

“All the people who have come in contact with us for the last few days are requested to get their COVID test done,” he added.

Pal has been campaigning in West Bengal for the past few days for the ongoing West Bengal Assembly polls.

A member of the Indian National Congress, Pal left the party in 2014 and contested the Domariyaganj Lok Sabha elections on a BJP ticket the same year and won.

He served as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh for one day in 1998 when Governor Romesh Bhandari dismissed the Kalyan Singh government which was later restored after the court’s order, thus making him the shortest reigning chief minister of any Indian state. (UNI)
