Hyderabad, December 8
After electoral setback, another tragedy stuck former Telangana Chief Minister and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) chief K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) who fell down in bathroom and suffered a hip injury.
He has been hospitalised in Hyderabad late Thursday night. His daughter and Nizamabad MLC K Kavitha informed that KCR is under medical care and will recover soon. At present, the former Chief Minister is undergoing treatment in Yashoda Hospital, Somajiguda.
The Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has wished former Telangana Chief Minister, Shri K. Chandrashekar Rao a speedy recovery from his injury. The Prime Minister posted on X; “Distressed to know that former Telangana CM Shri KCR Garu has suffered an injury. I pray for his speedy recovery and good health.”
After facing setback in the recently concluded assembly elections, KCR has moved to his farmhouse in Erravalli, Siddipet where he reportedly fell in the bathroom. He was admitted to the hospital at around 1 am. The 69-year-old leader lost to the Congress party in the assembly elections on December 3.
KCR is a two-time Chief Minister. He became the first CM in 2014 after the state bifurcation where his party TRS (now BRS) won 63 seats. He retained the CM seat in 2018 after winning the elections with 88 seats. But in the recent elections he suffered a defeat. His party could win only 39 seats. KCR himself lost the election from Kamareddy constituency. He was defeated by BJP candidate Katipally Venkata Ramana Reddy. He however retained the Gajwel seat.
“BRS supremo KCR Garu sustained a minor injury and is currently under expert care in the hospital. With the support and well-wishes pouring in, Dad will be absolutely fine soon. Grateful for all the love,” (sic) Kavitha said on X (formerly Twitter).
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, who took oath yesterday, directed the Secretary of Health and Family Welfare to closely monitor KCR’s health status and updates him.
