YSR Congress Party MLC and Leader of the Opposition in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council, Botsa Satyanarayana, was admitted to Citi Neuro Centre on Thursday night after reportedly suffering a brain stroke. Doctors treating him said his condition is stable.
Satyanarayana had been actively participating in the ongoing Budget Session of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council in Amaravati before the health scare.
This is not the first time the senior leader has faced a medical emergency. In June last year, he collapsed while addressing a “Vennupotu Dinam” protest rally at Cheepurupalli in Vizianagaram district.
He briefly lost consciousness while standing atop a vehicle and was rushed to a hospital in Visakhapatnam, where his condition later stabilised.
Earlier, in 2013, Satyanarayana was treated for a blood clot in his brain at a Hyderabad hospital and made a full recovery.
