Yeddyurappa Bail Plea Hearing Adjourned To Oct 20

Arrested former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa was today shifted from a heart specialist centre to a general hospital hours after the Karnataka High Court deferred to October 20 hearing on his interim bail plea in the land scam case.

As a large media waited outside the main entrance of the Jayadeva Institute of Cardiology for Yeddyurappa to come out, he was taken away in the evening in an ambulance to the state-run Victoria hospital through a third exit point.

His heart condition is “normal”, a doctor at the heart centre said. Yeddyurappa has other medical problems like diabetes and back ache for which he has been moved to the government hospital, the doctor said.

In Delhi, Congress had a dig at the former CM. “Whoever goes to jail falls ill. I think we must constitute some research what disease suddenly crops up when one sees the the prison door,” party spokesperson Renuka Chowdhary told reporters.
