DMK President Karunanidhi’s health deteriorated over the past few days.
Former Tamil Nadu chief minister and DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi was shifted to Kauvery Hospital in the early hours of Saturday after his blood pressure dropped. His condition is now stable. Crowds have gathered in large numbers outside his residence as well as the hospital. A health bulletin from the hospital stated that Karunanidhi’s blood pressure has been stabilized with medical management and he is being monitored and treated by a panel of expert doctors.
Friday marked 49 years of the leader taking charge as the party chief. The first leader to enter the 50th year as the president of a political party and the third chief minister of Tamil Nadu, M Karunanidhi became Tamil Nadu’s CM in 1969 for the first time. He has held the position in the state five times, with the last one in 2006. The DMK patriarch retreated from mainstream politics in 2016 after being diagnosed with a drug-induced allergy and his son, M K Stalin took over as the working president of the party.
As per a statement from the Hospital, the 94-year-old is being monitored round the clock by a team of medical experts.
