Pune, February 9 NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar was brought to a private hospital in Pune from his residence in Baramati on Monday after he complained of cough and difficulty in breathing. A CT scan was performed, and doctors have confirmed a chest infection, said Dr Parvez Grant, chief cardiologist and managing trustee of Ruby Hall Clinic. "After all the tests, we may admit him for a day," Dr Grant added. A team of doctors is examining him, and further action will be taken accordingly, he said. The 85-year-old leader was brought to the hospital in the afternoon. He was accompanied by his daughter and Member of Parliament, Supriya Sule, and her husband, Sadanand Sule. Immediately after arriving from Baramati, about 100 km from Pune, the former Union Minister, who lost his nephew and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar in an air crash on January 28, was wheeled inside the hospital. Pawar, who arrived in a MPV, emerged from the vehicle himself before being taken inside the facility in a wheelchair. Pawar, who is a survivor of oral cancer, was suffering from a throat infection, persistent cough, and chest congestion, according to party sources.
