NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar was taken to a hospital in Pune from his residence in Baramati on Monday afternoon after his health deteriorated, officials said. He was accompanied by his daughter, Supriya Sule, and wife Pratibha Pawar during the transfer. The 85-year-old opposition stalwart was taken to Ruby Hall Clinic Hospital in Pune after he experienced symptoms including cough, cold, and difficulty in breathing.
Ruby Hall Clinic chief cardiologist and managing trustee Dr Parvez Grant confirmed the development to PTI, saying, "Upon arrival, a team of doctors will check him and accordingly further course of action will be decided."
The medical team is closely monitoring his condition. No further details on his treatment have been disclosed at this time.
Pawar, a veteran leader, is also a survivor of oral cancer, which was diagnosed in the late 1990s. He underwent multiple surgeries in the United States and India as part of his treatment and has since continued an active public life despite the health setback.
This comes just days after the death of his nephew Ajit Pawar in a plane crash in Baramati.
