JD(S) MLAs to meet Guv on ‘injustice’ to Karnataka in federal system
BENGALURU:
After being initially refused a bed in Manipal Hospital, former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy could breathe easy upon getting admitted at Apollo Hospital on Bannerghatta Road.
Kumaraswamy was diagnosed with the coronavirus on Saturday morning and was quarantined at a private hotel after he failed to get a bed at Manipal Hospital.
He has now been admitted to Apollo Hospital. Health Minister Dr K Sudhakar had called Kumaraswamy and had promised to arrange for his admission in a health facility of his choice.
Grateful HDK
Kumaraswamy tweeted his thanks to Dr Sudhakar, Dr Manjunatha, head of cardiology at Jayadeva Hospital, and even to Manipal Hospital which later managed to arrange a bed for him.
ತುರ್ತಾಗಿ ಸ್ಪಂದಿಸಿ ನನ್ನೊಂದಿಗೆ ಮಾತನಾಡಿದರು. ಅವರಿಗೆ ನನ್ನ ಹೃತ್ಪೂರ್ವಕ ಕೃತಜ್ಞತೆಗಳು.
