Sharad Pawar's Health Update

"He is in the hospital for a check-up and follow-up. There is nothing serious," a source informed.

Recently, Pawar took the oath as a Rajya Sabha member while seated in a wheelchair. He had also addressed the media in Delhi.

In February this year, the former Maharashtra chief minister was admitted to a hospital in Pune twice - following a chest infection and dehydration.

Sharad Pawar's frequent hospital visits have raised concerns about his health, especially given his active role in national politics. As a senior leader, his well-being is closely watched by his party and political observers. His health could impact the NCP-SP's strategy in upcoming elections.
