Nationalist Congress Party (SCP) president Sharad Pawar was admitted to Ruby Hall Clinic Hospital on Monday after developing chest congestion, his daughter and party MP Supriya Sule said.

In a post on X, Supriya Sule said Sharad Pawar would require a five-day course of antibiotics and added that his other vital parameters were normal.

"Baba has developed chest congestion and will need a 5-day course of antibiotics. Fortunately, all other vital parameters are normal. Thank you all for your good wishes and constant support. A heartfelt thank you to all the doctors from the bottom of my heart," she said.

Earlier, Ruby Hall Clinic Hospital’s Dr Abhijeet Lodha said Pawar’s condition was stable and that preliminary examinations had been completed.

"His preliminary examination has been completed. Since his oxygen levels and heart rate are normal, there is no cause for concern at present. Due to continuous travel and engagements over the past few days, he has experienced fatigue. Due to chest congestion, a respiratory examination was also conducted. He has been admitted to a private room and does not require oxygen support," Dr Lodha told the media.

Sharad Pawar’s grand nephew Rohit Pawar said the senior leader had been following a hectic schedule over the past several days, which led to exhaustion and mild breathing discomfort.

"Over the past ten to twelve days, Sharad Pawar has had a very hectic schedule. Due to physical exhaustion and mild breathing discomfort, he was admitted to Ruby Hall Clinic. Doctors have conducted all necessary tests, and the results are normal. I personally spoke to the doctors. Once the remaining test reports are received, a decision will be taken on whether he should stay in Pune or be shifted to Mumbai," he said.

An appeal has been made to NCP(SP) workers not to gather at the hospital to ensure that other patients are not inconvenienced.
