JDS Supremo HD Deve Gowda was on Tuesday admitted to a hospital in Bengaluru for a "routine check up."
The former Prime Minister said he will be back home in a couple of days and there was no need for any "panic or anxiety."
"I have come to the hospital for a routine check-up. There is no need for any panic or anxiety. I will be back home in a couple of days," Gowda, who is admitted to a private hospital tweeted.
Though the exact reason for Gowda's health check-up is not known, the 89-year-old JD(S) leader has been ailing from severe knee pain and age-related issues.
He was hospitalised last year for COVID and related ailments.
Earlier in the day, Gowda's son and former Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy said his father was taken to the hospital today for health check-up, and would decide on JD(S) tickets to certain constituencies including Hassan seat for upcoming assembly polls, once back from there.
