The family of Karnataka Minister D. Sudhakar, who is in a coma due to a severe lung infection, has criticized Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy for making political statements about his health. Sudhakar, a close associate of Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, is currently on a ventilator, with doctors considering a lung transplant if his condition does not improve significantly.
Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy accused the state government of withholding updates on Sudhakar’s health, suggesting a hidden agenda. He raised concerns about potential misuse of the situation for ulterior motives, emphasizing the need for transparency. In response, Sudhakar’s son expressed dismay over Kumaraswamy’s politicization of his father’s illness, urging against exploiting personal health for political gains.
Sudhakar’s son provided an update on his father’s health, mentioning recent surgeries and ongoing treatment progress. He denounced the politicization of his father’s condition and emphasized the family’s distress over such remarks. Despite the political controversy, the family remains hopeful for Sudhakar’s recovery and return to health.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah visited Sudhakar at the hospital, noting his unconscious state and the medical team’s decisions regarding his treatment. Siddaramaiah highlighted the importance of Sudhakar regaining consciousness for potential further medical interventions. The minister’s stable condition, except for his brain function, has prompted visits from other state leaders, underscoring the concern for his well-being.
