Former Telangana CM and BRS chief KCR has been admitted to hospital after he fell in his farmhouse in Erravalli on Thursday night. ANI reported citing sources that he has been admitted to Yashoda Hospitals in Hyderabad. His daughter and party MLC K Kavitha confirmed the news in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
"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," she said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also shared a post and said he prays for the speedy recovery of the BRS chief. "Distressed to know that former Telangana CM Shri KCR Garu has suffered an injury. I pray for his speedy recovery and good health," the PM said.
Media reports suggest he has suffered injuries in his legs and hips and a fracture is suspected. He may require surgery as well. News agency PTI stated that the hospital will release a bulletin soon about his health conditions.
The stalwart leader who led the party to victory twice since the formation of the state in 2014, couldn't manage the same magic again this year. He met his party MLAs at his farmhouse in Erravalli on Dec 4, a day after the election results. IANS reported that he was seen chatting with the newly-elected MLAs of the party and also his former ministerial colleagues.
Former Assembly Speaker Pocharam Srinivas Reddy, former ministers T. Harish Rao, Mehmood Ali, Srinivas Goud, T. Srinivas Yadav, Malla Reddy, and Sabitha Indra Reddy among others met KCR at his farmhouse.
Notably, Congress swept the polls in the state by winning 64 seats while BRS, after its 10-year-rule, won only 39 seats. Telangana Congress Chief Revanth Reddy is the new state Chief Minister.
