After Prateek Yadav Seeks Divorce, Will Aparna Yadav Move Women’s Commission? UP Panel Chief Re

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav’s younger brother, Prateek Yadav, has publicly stated that he wants a divorce from his wife, BJP leader Aparna Yadav. Speaking from a public platform, Prateek described Aparna as “selfish” and “dishonest,” and said he wishes to separate from her, triggering tension within the Yadav family and intensifying political buzz across Uttar Pradesh.

Aparna Yadav currently serves as vice-chairperson of the Uttar Pradesh Women’s Commission. Amid speculation that she might raise the divorce issue before the commission, its chairperson Babita Singh Chauhan clarified that Aparna has not approached the body regarding the matter.

‘Aparna Capable of Handling Personal Decisions’

Babita Singh Chauhan said Aparna Yadav is capable of managing her personal affairs on her own and does not need to approach the Women’s Commission. She noted that Aparna herself is the commission’s vice-chairperson and regularly takes significant decisions, adding that she can take decisions related to her personal life independently as well.

Chauhan also spoke about a recent meeting of the Women’s Commission, saying such meetings are held every month to review work done during the previous month and to discuss future plans aimed at women’s welfare.
