Union minister and senior BJP leader Nitin Gadkari fainted on stage while addressing an election rally in Maharashtra's Yavatmal on Wednesday. Gadkari was immediately rushed for treatment.

While addressing the crowd at an election rally in Yavatmal's Pusad, Gadkari suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed on stage. Swift action was taken by his party members, who promptly caught the senior leader and rushed him to receive medical assistance.

Several party workers were seen splashing water on Nitin Gadkari's face and escorting him away from the stage.

However, the minister himself took to X (formerly known as Twitter) some time later and announced his well-being. He said he felt unconscious during the election rally due to heatwave conditions in the area.

"I felt uncomfortable due to the heat during the rally in Pusad, Maharashtra. But now I am completely healthy and am leaving for Varud to attend the next meeting. Thank you for your love and good wishes," Nitin Gadkari tweeted.

Yavatmal, along with Buldhana, Akola, Amravati, Wardha, Hingoli, Nanded, and Parbhani in Maharashtra, is scheduled to vote in the second phase of the Lok Sabha election on April 26, Friday.

Yavatmal, situated in Vidarbha in the east-central region of Maharashtra, has been grappling with intense heatwave conditions. Notably, the weather department has issued a heatwave alert for several areas in Maharashtra in the days to come.
