Congress national President Mallikarjun Kharge was admitted to a hospital in Bengaluru on Tuesday.
The 83-year-old Congress leader was taken to MS Ramaiah Hospital after he developed a fever and complained of leg pain.
He is currently under medical observation. According to hospital sources, his condition is stable and he is expected to be discharged soon.
The Congress leader is scheduled to visit Nagaland on October 7 where he will also address a rally at Naga Solidarity Park.
In September last year, Kharge was hospitalised in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua after his health deteriorated during a rally. While delivering a speech in Kathua, Kharge was seen gasping for breath and almost fainted before being helped by a Congress worker. Following the incident, he took a jibe at the BJP and said, “I will stay alive till PM Modi is removed from power.”
