Former Telangana CM KCR Hospitalized After Fall, Hip Replacement Surgery Ahead

In a startling development, former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) was rushed to Yashoda Hospital in Hyderabad following a fall at his Erravalli farmhouse, resulting in a fracture. KCR's son and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader, KT Rama Rao (KTR), revealed that his father would undergo hip replacement surgery the next day.

Sharing the update, KTR took to social media, stating, "Today, Sri KCR Garu is scheduled to undergo Hip Replacement Surgery due to an unfortunate bathroom fall. We extend our gratitude to everyone sending their wishes for his swift recovery."

Offering reassurance, KCR's daughter and BRS Member of the Legislative Council (MLC), K. Kavitha, mentioned that her father's injury was minor, and he was under expert medical care. She expressed heartfelt thanks for the flood of well-wishes.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also joined in, expressing his concern for KCR's well-being. He tweeted, "I am distressed to learn about the injury suffered by former Telangana CM Shri KCR Garu. My prayers are with him for a speedy recovery and good health."

KCR recently stepped down as Telangana's Chief Minister after the BRS faced defeat in the state assembly elections. Revanth Reddy, representing the Congress, was sworn in as the new Chief Minister. The inauguration witnessed a grand gathering of top Congress leaders, including Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, alongside thousands of enthusiastic party supporters and ordinary citizens.
