HYDERABAD: CPM state secretary Tammineni Veerabhadram was admitted to a private hospital in Hyderabad after he complained of chest pain in Khammam on Tuesday. His condition is said to be critical.
Veerabhadram unsuccessfully contested for the Palair seat in the recent Assembly elections. Former minister T Harish Rao called on Veerabhadram at the hospital in the evening and enquired about his health with doctors.
The health bulletin issued by AIG Hospitals said that Veerabhadram was shifted to hospital from Khammam with ventilator support.
“He has heart dysfunction and abnormality of heart beat along with kidney dysfunction, which caused fluid accumulation in lungs, necessitating invasive ventilation.
