The DMDK General Secretary Vijayakant has been admitted to a private hospital in Chennai on Tuesday night once again after he developed health complications. The DMDK leader who tested positive for coronavirus was discharged three days back following recovery.

A press release from DMDK said, “The DMDK General Secretary Vijayakant has been admitted to the hospital for the second round of tests to a private hospital in Chennai. He is in good health.” The release also requested the people not to believe rumours regarding the health of “Captain” Vijayakant.

Vijayakant tested positive for coronavirus on September 24. The DMDK leader already had kidney and liver-related co-morbidities. However, he was responding to treatment and was stable.

The DMDK General Secretary Vijayakant and his wife and treasurer of the party Premalatha Vijayakant, were discharged from the hospital following recovery from coronavirus. A release from MIOT Hospital on Friday said, “A Vijayakant (Founder and General Secretary, DMDK) and Premalatha Vijayakant (Treasurer of DMDK) tested positive for COVID-19. They were evaluated at MIOT Hospitals, Chennai and stayed on for observation. They have responded extremely well to treatment and are getting discharged today (October 2).”

The DMDK founder and General Secretary Vijayakant hoisted the party flag during the celebrations.
