Bengaluru, Oct 27: What has happened to Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs and Chemicals and Fertilisers H N Ananth Kumar? Even BJP leaders don’t have answer. However, the Bengaluru South MP, who recently returned to India after undergoing treatment in United Kingdom and United States, is still not in a condition to face the people.

According to sources, Ananth Kumar is currently “taking rest” in a private hospital in the city. Last month, when Ananth Kumar was in London, rumours were doing rounds that he was suffering from lung cancer. However his office had trashed reports and claimed that he will be back soon.

The sources said only his family is allowed to meet him. Neither close friends nor top BJP leaders are being allowed.

“Ananth Kumarji has come to Bengaluru safely. He is fine. On long journey and doctors’ advice he needs rest and will be available after 15 days,” a statement from his office stated.

He celebrated his 60th birthday at New York with his family last month.
