“On evaluation, he was found to have a fracture on his left hip. He would require a left hip replacement for the same. It usually takes six to eight weeks for the recovery,” the Medical Superintendent of the hospital said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy wished him a speedy recovery. The latter has directed the officials of the Health Ministry to monitor his health condition and provide all assistance to him.

KCR has been camping at the farmhouse ever since his party suffered a defeat on December 3 by the hands of Congress. The party, which secured 88 seats in the 2018 elections, was pushed to the second position with 39 seats.
After sending his resignation to Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan, KCR left his Begumpet Camp Office quietly.
