DMK chief M Karunanidhi admitted to hospital, to undergo tests

The 92-year-old DMK supremo was admitted to Kauvery hospital for allergy related issues on Thursday morning.

Chennai: DMK chief M Karunanidhi was on Thursday morning admitted to Kauvery hospital in Chennai.

Reports said that the 92-year-old DMK supremo was admitted for allergy related issues.

Karunanidhi has been suffering from an allergy for over a month. He will undergo some tests and will be back home soon, said reports.

"The DMK chief has been admitted for optimisation of nutrition and hydration. He is stable and will remain in hospital for a few days," Kauvery staff said.

Karunanidhi has not been seen in public for over a month. In October, a statement from his party said, "The DMK leader is unwell due to a drug-induced allergy. Doctors have advised him rest. Visitors should avoid visiting him and cooperate."

The DMK chief's illness comes in the wake of the hospitalisation of his political rival and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, who has been admitted to Apollo Hospitals since September 22.
