Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot underwent angioplasty at SMS hospital in Jaipur on Friday. The 70-year-old Congress leader has had health issues ever since he tested positive for coronavirus in April this year.
“The CM’s angioplasty has been done successfully. Everything is fine now,” Gehlot’s OSD Lokesh Sharma tweeted.
Earlier in the day, the CM tweeted about his impending angioplasty. “Post Covid-19, I was having health issues and since yesterday, I was having severe pain in my chest. Just got my CT angiography done in SMS hospital and angioplasty will be done,” he posted.
