A day after undergoing angioplasty, Rajasthan leader minister Ashok Gehlot on Saturday stated he was not able to go a number of the people during the beyond several days as he was laid low with post-Covid health issues. The 70-year-old Congress chief had tested positive for the viral contamination in April and after healing in May, he faced post-Covid issues.
Gehlot issued a statement here, saying he was working day and night after recovering from the disease and did not get proper rest.
"I could not take proper rest as advised by doctors. Due to this, I am having post-Covid problems for so long. This is the reason why in the last several days, I was unable to go among the people of the state," he said in the statement.
Gehlot had been targeted by the Opposition for some time for apparently not leaving his residence to meet people. The chief minister further said that he did not have cardiac issues before, and as per doctors, it is a post-Covid effect.
