India Today
The senior opposition leader was brought to the city from his residence in Baramati and admitted for medical evaluation as a precautionary measure.
Nationalist Congress Party (SP) chief Sharad Pawar was admitted to Ruby Hall Clinic in Pune on Monday afternoon after he complained of throat-related problems, coughing and fever. The senior leader was brought to the city from his residence in Maharashtra's Baramati on Monday afternoon for further medical care.
The veteran politician was unwell while in Baramati and initially took primary treatment there. However, as his condition persisted, doctors advised that he be shifted to Pune for detailed evaluation and treatment.
A close aide said the NCP founder is suffering from a throat infection and is currently under treatment at the hospital.
"Upon arrival, a team of doctors will check him and, accordingly, a further course of action will be decided," Ruby Hall Clinic chief cardiologist and managing trustee Dr Parvez Grant said.
Hospital authorities said Pawar is being closely monitored, and his condition will be assessed by a team of specialists before deciding on the next steps.
Party MP and Sharad Pawar’s daughter Supriya Sule, along with his son-in-law Sadanand Sule, are present at the hospital and are staying with him.
