Sharad Pawar's health stable, undergoing treatment for chest congestion: Doctor

NCP-SCP chief Sharad Pawar admitted to Pune hospital for chest congestion. Doctors confirm stable condition and normal vital parameters.

"He has been admitted to a private room, and at present, all vital parameters are stable. - Dr Abhijit Lodha"

Pune, February 9

NCP-SCP chief Sharad Pawar has been admitted to a hospital after developing chest congestion, with doctors confirming that his condition is stable and that his vital parameters are normal.

Providing an update on Pawar's health, Dr Abhijit Lodha said that appropriate investigations have been conducted and treatment has been initiated.

"There was some congestion in the chest. We have sent the appropriate investigations and started the appropriate treatment. Further modifications to the treatment will be decided once we receive the investigation reports... He has been admitted to a private room, and at present, all vital parameters are stable. The oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and blood oxygen level have all been normal", he said.

Earlier in the day, NCP (SCP) chief Sharad Pawar was taken to Ruby Hall Clinic Hospital in Pune after some complaints of cough and difficulty in breathing. He was in Baramati.

According to his office, the former union minister had "some complaints of cough and difficulties in breathing".

NCP suffered a shock last month when its chief and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, nephew of Sharad Pawar, died in a plane crash. Ajit Pawar's wife Sunetra Pawar was sworn in as the state Deputy Chief Minister.

Sharad Pawar had earlier this month expressed happiness over Sunetra Pawar taking oath as Deputy Chief Minister.

He also talked about merger discussions that were taking place between the two groups following a split. He said Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has no right to talks about these talks as he was not aware.

"I am happy that Sunetra Pawar is sworn in as Deputy CM....Merger discussions were held between Ajit Pawar and Jayant Patil. CM Fadnavis was not involved in the talks. What right did he have to talk about it? At present, our entire focus is on taking care of everyone and moving forward together with those who are grieving. As of now, there is no discussion at all about any political decisions," he said.

Get well soon, sir. At his age, even minor chest issues can be serious. It's good he got immediate medical attention at Ruby Hall. His family has been through so much recently with the tragic loss.

The article seems to conflate two different events? It mentions Ajit Pawar's death in a plane crash last month, but Ajit Pawar is alive and is the Deputy CM. There might be a factual error here regarding the names. Hope the editor corrects this. My best wishes to Sharad Pawar ji regardless.

Health comes first. All the political merger talks can wait. It's admirable that even while unwell, his statement focuses on taking care of everyone and grieving together. That's leadership.

Chest congestion in this weather is very common, especially for senior citizens. Glad his vitals are stable. He should take complete rest. Maharashtra politics needs his experience.

The man is a legend. Survived so much in his long career. A minor health scare won't keep him down for long. Speedy recovery, Saheb! Our prayers are with you.
