Gadkari complains of uneasiness during poll rally in Himachal

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari complained of uneasiness as his blood pressure had shot up during an election rally in Himachal Pradesh's tribal Kinnaur district on Wednesday, a state BJP leader said.

The Road Transport and Highways Minister was immediately attended to by a team of doctors and a tweet on his official handle later said that he was doing fine.

After the rally, Gadkari had complained of uneasiness as his blood sugar level had shot up, the BJP leader said.

Subsequently a team of doctors, led by Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital's senior medical superintendent Dr Janak Raj, reached Wildflower Hall in Charabra in Shimla district, where Gadkari was staying, the BJP leader said.

Dr Raj said after the clinical examination Gadkari's indicators were found to be within normal limits.

"Union Minister Nitin Gadkari is doing fine. Doctors in Shimla have conducted a routine examination. Misleading reports on Gadkari's health are being spread. Do not pay any heed to them," read .
