The health of Rajasthan Governor Haribhau Bagde took a sudden turn for the worse in Jodhpur on Thursday, marking the second such incident in the past 10 days. Currently, he is recuperating at the Circuit House under the observation of a team of doctors. Bagde had traveled to Jodhpur to attend a convocation ceremony at MBM Engineering University.
Reports suggest that shortly after returning to the Circuit House from the event, the Governor complained of discomfort and vomiting, leading to the immediate intervention of a medical team. Following this, doctors conducted an on-site examination and advised him to rest. He is currently receiving preliminary treatment and is under close monitoring.
In light of his condition, the Jodhpur health administration is on high alert. Mathuradas Mathur Hospital in Jodhpur is on standby with a specialized medical team prepared for potential hospitalization if required. Earlier in the day, Rajasthan Assembly Speaker Vasudev Devnani visited the Governor, who seemed in good health and even released a book during the meeting.
Bagde, aged 80, was previously admitted to the ICU at Sawai Man Singh Hospital in Jaipur on March 10 due to health issues including a urinary tract infection, mild kidney problems, and fever. Although he was discharged after showing improvement, the recurrence of symptoms has raised concerns. An official health bulletin is awaited by the administration. Bagde has been serving as the 45th Governor of Rajasthan since 2024, having previously been the Speaker of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly in 2014.
