Hours after he was remanded in judicial custody by the Special Lokayukta Court on Saturday, the former Chief Minister, B.S. Yeddyurappa, was shifted from the prison hospital to the state-run Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiology, after he vomited and complained of discomfort in the chest.
At 1.40 a.m. on Sunday, he was moved into a single room on the third floor of the hospital, converted into an Intensive Care Unit specially for him.
No VIP treatment
In fact, contrary to media reports on Saturday that claimed he was given VIP treatment at a cell in the Parappana Agrahara Central Prison, Mr. Yeddyurappa was taken straight to the prison hospital from court and never entered the cell designated for him, jail sources said.
Mr. Yeddyurappa is “predisposed to hypertension, hypothyroidism and diabetes mellitus,” director of Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiology C.N. Manjunath told The Hindu.
He said a series of blood tests, ECG and Echo were conducted on Mr. Yeddyurappa.
Angiogram today
“Although the ECG did not show any significant changes, the Echo test indicated a left ventricle diastolic dysfunction. Besides, his blood sodium levels are also low and his blood pressure is fluctuating. An angiogram will be done on Monday after which the future course of medication will be decided,” he said.
Mr. Yeddyurappa received a steady stream of visitors that included Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda, and party colleagues.
His lawyer, Ravi B. Naik, told The Hindu that he would be moving a regular bail application before the High Court under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
I always wondered what "Theatre of the absurd" meant.I think now I truly understand.Yeddyurappa is in the wrong profession.Theatre's loss has been Politics' loss as well.
Today make him CM again, He will come out of hospital without any hesitation. God!! Save our country from these kind of persons.
Can understand the predicament of Yedyurappa but that is what you pay for going back on the oath of upholding the constitution, this should serve as lesson to all those aspiring for public life. The legal system should be so strong that none would dare to commit these acts of fraud.
BSY is an ethical grafts man who has respected the rule of law and justice in contrast to NaMo of Gujarat.
Is 'arrest of politician' synonymous to hospitalization, detail checkup and loads of disturbing diseases? Daily reports come about corruption scandals and political fights by these people, wonder how this energy drains suddenly once an arrest takes place. Least to say Ridiculous!
How is that all our politicians fall sick immediately after being charged for a crime ??? A common gets kicked to the jail immediately after being charged . Another common dialogue by all party politicians when charged for a crime is that , they have been framed by the " vested interests " !!!!
Do our politicians still think that we are fools ?? It should be made mandatory under our constitution that all leaders to be should be educated and qualified to lead the particular Ministry.
Its highly improper of the Karnataka chief minister and his colleagues to visit Yeddy at the hospital, when he has feigned illness and took the shelter of hospital. Its a matter of time, the various ailments now in place with Yeddy will be gone, the moment bail is granted. On what morality these guys, including chief minister have gone to support Yeddy?
