Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy was rushed to a private hospital in Bengaluru after suffering a nosebleed during a press conference following a BJP-JDS coordination meeting. His son, Nikhil Kumaraswamy, took him to Apollo Hospital, where he was discharged after a thorough check-up. The nosebleed was attributed to blood thinners and possibly cracks in his nose, compounded by his cardiac issues. Despite the incident, Kumaraswamy is reportedly doing fine. BJP and JD(S) leaders had gathered to discuss corruption allegations against the Congress government in Karnataka and announced a 'Padyatra' starting August 3. Kumaraswamy's office confirmed his participation in the march, which aims to highlight recent scams.
