Tumkur, Jan 4: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Friday called on Dr Shivakumar Swamiji of Siddaganga Mutt who is undergoing treatment, and enquired his health condition and wished for speedy recovery.
Speaking to reporters later, the Chief Minister said that the doctors have been working tirelessly for improving the health of the Swamiji. He would also thank the entire doctors team on behalf of the devotees, he said.
It was a surprising factor for the entire medical fraternity about the Swamiji responding to the treatment even at this old age. He would appeal the devotees not to visit the Swamiji keeping in mind about his health condition.
Even he also thought that his visit might affect the Swamiji. But he got the permission from the junior Swamiji and met the seer, the CM said.
"On my way to Dharwad All India Kannada Sahitya Sammelan, I have come here to enquire about his health and get his blessings. The Swamiji is fine and healthy. There's no worry about his health", he said.
Minister S.R. Srinivas, MLA G.B. Jyothi Ganesh, former minister Sogadu Shivanna, former MLA Ningappa were accompanying the Chief Minister.
