Uttar Pradesh Congress president Ajay Rai was admitted to a private hospital in the state capital Lucknow on Friday after a sudden illness.
“State president Ajay Rai fainted at his residence due to low sodium. He has been admitted to the hospital and is undergoing medical care,” party spokesman Manish Hindvi said.
Rai had attended a conference of teachers and doctors organized by the party during the day, along with other senior party leaders. During the event, he complained of insomnia, pain, and discomfort. He lost consciousness shortly after the incident ended, and was subsequently admitted to the emergency ward of a private hospital under the care of doctors.
According to a report by the Statesman newspaper, hospital officials said that Ajay Rai was brought in after his health condition suddenly deteriorated.
“He was admitted to the emergency department after complaining of chest pain, restlessness, and fainting. Treatment began under the supervision of experts,” the official said in the report.
