TIRUPATI:
Former MP Dr N Sivaprasad
’s condition is critical and he has been put on life support at a private hospital in Chennai. The two-time
MP
from
Chittoor
was hospitalised about a week ago, with kidney problems and other age-related ailments. His condition has deteriorated in the last 48 hours.
The actor-turned-politician won the hearts of the Telugu people when he staged protests donning different guises at the Parliament and other places against the bifurcation of the state and demanding special category status for the truncated state of Andhra Pradesh.
On Friday, former chief minister N Chandrababu
Naidu
met
Sivaprasad
’s kin at the Chennai hospital after reports of the latter’s deteriorating health came out.
Naidu interacted with doctors at the hospital for a brief while and told the media that while the health of the former MP was a cause of worry specialist doctors were all attending to him. He exuded confidence that Sivaprasad will walk out of the hospital hale and healthy. “I pray that Sivaprasad recovers soon. The party will extend all support to the family of the former MP at this hour of need,” Naidu said.
TDP MPs Kesineni Srinivas (Nani) and Galla Jayadev accompanied Chandrababu Naidu in his visit.
