"Fully recovered": BJP MP Harsh Mahajan assures supporters after sudden health scare and hospitalisation
Shimla, June 27
Following a sudden health scare during a media interaction after a BJP protest in Shimla, Rajya Sabha MP Harsh Mahajan was promptly admitted to Indira Gandhi Medical College on Saturday. Mahajan has since assured supporters that he has completely recovered.
State BJP President Rajeev Bindal and Leader of the Opposition Jai Ram Thakur visited the hospital to enquire about his well-being and consult with the attending medical team.
Expressing gratitude, Rajya Sabha MP Harsh Mahajan said, "I am completely healthy now. Due to a sudden health-related issue, I had to undergo medical treatment at the hospital for a short while. By the grace of God, the timely care provided by the doctors, and the prayers, good wishes, and affection of my family, friends, well-wishers, and supporters, I have now fully recovered."
He further said, "I sincerely thank everyone who enquired about my well-being through phone calls, messages, and other means. Your affection, trust, and blessings are my greatest strength. I express my heartfelt gratitude and thanks to each one of you for your support and prayers."
Rajeev Bindal and Jai Ram Thakur said that party workers and well-wishers across the state were concerned after learning about Harsh Mahajan's sudden health issue.
They informed that, according to the doctors, he was admitted due to dehydration and low blood pressure, and that there is no heart blockage or any other cardiac problem. They expressed relief that his condition is stable and improving rapidly and prayed for his continued good health and long life.
BJP Rajya Sabha MP Harsh Mahajan was earlier shifted to Indira Gandhi Medical College (IGMC), Shimla, after his health suddenly deteriorated while speaking to reporters following a BJP protest on Saturday. Mahajan complained of discomfort and was suspected of experiencing pressure in his chest while interacting with the media.
He was immediately attended to and later shifted to IGMC for medical evaluation and treatment.
The incident occurred shortly after Mahajan addressed reporters, during which he had strongly criticised the Himachal Pradesh government over the elections to Zila Parishads and Panchayat Samitis.

Dehydration is no joke, especially in Shimla where the climate can be tricky. Good that the doctors ruled out cardiac issues. Hope our politicians take better care of themselves during these busy protests and rallies.
Harsh Mahajan ji is a seasoned leader. His strong criticism of the state government during that press conference shows his commitment. It's unfortunate he fell ill right after, but I'm relieved it's nothing serious. Get well soon! 🇮🇳
While I'm happy for his recovery, this kind of health scare during a heated press conference shows how polarised our politics has become. Hope he uses this time to reflect on the stress that comes with aggressive political rhetoric. Still, best wishes for his health. 🤞
From an outsider's view, this seems like a common story in Indian politics—a politician gets unwell but bounces back quickly. The way supporters and rivals both send well-wishes is heartening. Hope he takes good rest, politics can wait.
The way Bindal ji and Thakur ji visited the hospital immediately shows how close-knit the BJP is in Himachal. But honestly, with all the political drama in the state, it's no wonder people get stressed. Take care, Mahajan ji - we need strong voices like yours. 💪
