While Yadav’s brother Shivpal Singh Yadav is already there, his family members are reaching Gurugram to check up on his health.

Samajwadi Party president and Mulayam's son Akhilesh Yadav has left Lucknow for Delhi, said Rajendra Chaudhary, spokesperson of the Samajwadi Party state unit.

He is under treatment in the hospital since August 22. The SP leader was admitted to the hospital in July also.
