Senior YSR Congress Party leader and MLC Botsa Satyanarayana was shifted to Hyderabad after showing symptoms of a possible brain stroke. He was admitted to City Neuro Hospital for medical evaluation and treatment.
On Thursday, Botsa attended the Legislative Council session and interacted with the media. He stated that the YSRCP would strongly raise the issue of adulterated ghee in the House on Friday. However, when the Council session began the next day, he was absent. YSRCP members continued their routine protests, but by afternoon reports emerged that Botsa had developed stroke like symptoms and had been rushed to Hyderabad.
Family members said he was taken to City Neuro Hospital as a precaution after doctors noticed symptoms associated with a brain stroke. They maintained that there was no immediate danger and that he was placed under observation. Media reports also quoted doctors stating that his condition was stable. Botsa’s daughter conveyed a similar message, assuring supporters that there was no serious threat.
The development became public only after he was transported from Amaravati to Hyderabad and admitted to the hospital.
His admission to City Neuro Hospital has triggered political discussion. The hospital had earlier drawn attention during the controversial Kodi Kathi episode involving Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. Critics also point out that the hospital’s owner had served as an advisor for five years and received a government salary during the previous regime.
Some political observers have expressed surprise over the choice of hospital. They argue that even mid level party leaders often prefer larger and more established institutions in Hyderabad for critical care. Questions are now being raised within political circles about why City Neuro Hospital was chosen in this instance.
For now, doctors have stated that Botsa Satyanarayana remains stable and under close monitoring.
