While speaking to PTI on Eknath Shinde's health, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Shirsat said, “He (Eknath Shinde) was ill during elections too; however, he campaigned with full strength. He had gone to his village, however, his health deteriorated. He returned to Thane where doctors conducted various tests. Test reports may have shown something and that is why he has been admitted to Jupiter Hospital.”
