Yogi government entrusted a big responsibility to Aparna Yadav, made her the vice-president of UP Women’s Commission

The Uttar Pradesh government led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday (September 3) appointed Babita Chauhan as the chairperson of the State Women’s Commission. Aparna Yadav, daughter-in-law of late Mulayam Singh Yadav, founder of the Samajwadi Party, has been appointed as the vice-chairman of the commission. Let us tell you that Aparna Yadav joined the BJP in January 2022 and after two and a half years, she has been given a big responsibility.

When Aparna joined BJP just before the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections in 2022, it was expected that the saffron party would make her contest the elections, but this did not happen. After this, there were many occasions when there was talk of Aparna Yadav becoming a member of the Legislative Council or being made a candidate by the BJP in the by-election. But these things also proved to be speculations. Aparna Yadav could not get any major responsibility in the BJP organization for the last two and a half years.

In the 2017 UP assembly elections, Akhilesh Yadav had fielded Aparna Yadav from Lucknow Cantt on a Samajwadi Party ticket. However, she had to face defeat at the hands of BJP’s Rita Bahuguna Joshi. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, discussions also intensified that BJP could make Aparna its candidate from a seat in UP. In March 2024, she met BJP National General Secretary Sunil Bansal in Delhi. However, this time too she did not get the ticket.
