Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot to undergo angioplasty

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Friday said that he will undergo angioplasty at a hospital here after experiencing severe chest pain.

The 70-year-old Congress leader had tested positive for coronavirus in April this year.

"Post Covid I was having health issues & Since yesterday I was having severe pain in my chest. Just got my CT done in SMS hospital. Angioplasty will be done," Gehlot tweeted.

Angioplasty is a procedure to open clogged heart arteries.

"I am happy that I am getting it done at SMS Hospital. I am fine and will be back soon. Your blessings and well wishes are with me," he said.
