The Union minister had collapsed in Chitradurga due to low blood sugar levels and was rushed to a nearby hospital.
Fertilizer and Chemicals Union Minister DV Sadananda Gowda, who was rushed to a hospital in Bengaluru on Sunday afternoon after collapsing at a hotel in Chitradurga, said he was fine and his condition was stable. On Twitter, the minister said: “I’m fine. It was only the low blood sugar levels that made me break down. All parameters, including Echo, ECG, are normal. Thanks to everyone who wished me well. “
Meanwhile, a statement from Aster CMI Hospital read: “DV Sadananda Gowda, Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers of the Government of India was taken to Aster CMI hospital at 4:45 pm on Sunday. His condition is stable and he will be under observation for the next 24 hours. “
Gowda was returning from Shivamogga to Bengaluru after attending the BJP state executive committee meeting. The 67-year-old minister had stopped for a snack due to falling blood sugar levels. According to sources, he did well at the Shivamogga party convention, but developed hypoglycemia and was immediately transferred to Basaveshwara Medical College and Hospital, where he received preliminary treatment.
Later it was decided to transfer him to Bengaluru and the state police arranged a traffic-free corridor for the ambulance transporting Gowda. He is admitted to the Aster CMI hospital in Bengaluru, where a team of endocrinologists monitors his blood sugar levels.
The Union minister had also tested positive for the coronavirus in the third week of November. He returned to work after his recovery. The Union minister had participated in the BJP state executive committee meeting in Shivamogga, which was attended by Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa, State Minister KS Eshwarappa, BJP State President Nalin Kumar Kateel, and other senior leaders of the party.
