After interacting with Rao for a few moments the CM left the premises.

Former chief minister Chandrashekar Rao was admitted to the Yashoda Hospital in Hyderabad after he fell in his farmhouse in Erravalli.

"Kalvakuntla Chandrashekhar Rao Garu had a slip and fall in his bathroom at his Residence and was subsequently brought to Yashoda Hospital for further care. On evaluation, including CT scans he was found to have left hip fracture. He would require left hip replacement for the same and the usual course of recovery for such cases is expected to be six to eight weeks," the hospital said in a statement earlier.
