BJP leader and MLA Ramesh Jarkiholi met the Chief Minister to inquire about his health. Speaking to reporters, Jarkiholi said he visited the Circuit House after learning that Siddaramaiah was unwell. He added that they exchanged greetings and that no political or other discussions took place.
Urban Development Minister Byrati Suresh also checked on the Chief Minister’s health and stated that Siddaramaiah was doing well. He said he had lunch with the Chief Minister and that Siddaramaiah was reviewing information as he is scheduled to reply in the House on Thursday.
Siddaramaiah’s son, Dr Yatindra, arrived in the evening to inquire about his father’s health. He said the Chief Minister had suffered from a diarrhoea-like infection, had taken medication, and was resting. Dr Yatindra added that Siddaramaiah would attend the legislature session on Thursday.
