On Wednesday, we got the sad news that Prateek Yadav, the younger son of late Samajwadi Party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav, passed away in Lucknow. Reportedly, he was found unresponsive at his house on Wednesday morning, and he was rushed to the Civil Hospital in the city, where he was declared dead. Many politicians have reacted to Prateek's death, and even actor and BJP MP Ravi Kishan spoke about it.
While talking to ANI, Kishan said, "Very sad! He was a health freak; he had a gym business. He was also in the construction business. I knew him very well; he had a very gentle and polite personality. He kept himself away from politics. Sadly, he died at the age of 38."
"I knew that maybe his treatment had been going on for the past few days. But this is very shocking and sad. He has two daughters. As soon as I woke up and came to know about it, I felt very sad. It is a difficult phase for his wife and kids," he added.
Prateek is survived by his wife, Aparna, and two daughters. Aparna is a politician and is a part of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
