Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin experienced mild giddiness during his morning walk and has been admitted to Apollo Hospital in Chennai for evaluation and necessary diagnostic tests.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin was rushed to Chennai's Apollo Hospital after he experienced mild ‘giddiness’ during a morning walk. According to the hospital, the 72-year-old was admitted for evaluation and necessary diagnostic tests.
Apollo Hospitals' medical services director Dr Anil BG issued a statement in this regard. The press release dated July 21 states that Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin had “mild giddiness during his routine morning walking. He has been admitted to Apollo Hospitals, Greams Road, Chennai for evaluation of his symptoms and the necessary diagnostic tests are being done”.
Earlier in the day, MK Stalin greeted Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge as he turned 83 on Monday. In a post on X, he stated, "Warm birthday greetings to @INCIndia President Thiru @kharge avaru. You have been pivotal in strengthening #INDIA by standing firm against forces that seek to sow division and weaken our unity. Wishing you enduring resolve, good health, and wisdom as you continue to uphold the dignity and collective will of the people."
Anwhar Raajhaa joins DMK
A Hindustan Times report, quoting people familiar with the matter, said CM Stalin went to the hospital after attending a programme at Anna Arivalayam, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) headquarters in Chennai, where former All India Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) organising secretary A Anwhar Raajhaa joined the DMK.
As Anwhar Raajhaa arrived at the DMK headquarters, the AIADMK expelled him from the party. Raajhaa, sceptical of the BJP, expressed concerns over the saffron party's growing influence in Tamil Nadu politics. Criticising the BJP, he alleged that the JP Nadda-led party's agenda is to destroy the AIADMK and then fight against the DMK.
Speaking to reporters after joining the DMK, Raajhaa said, "Union Minister Amit Shah has said the NDA coalition would form the government. But not even in one place has Amit Shah mentioned Edappadi Palaniswami as CM candidature. Edappadi Palaniswami has been campaigning for 10 days, but he can't project himself as the AIADMK CM candidate," according to an ANI report.
