Nice to see the party leadership checking on him. But honestly, I wish our politicians would take better care of their health. Running around all day without proper food and sleep is not worth it. Get well soon, sir.

Get well soon, Ajay Rai ji! 🙏 Low sodium can be really dangerous, my uncle had a similar issue. Good that Medanta Lucknow treated him well. UP Congress needs his leadership.

Heartening to see party colleagues like Kharge ji and Rahul Gandhi expressing concern. But I hope the media doesn't sensationalize such health news. Let the man recover in peace. Best wishes!
