Chennai:
DMK chief M Karunanidhi was discharged after being hospitalised for a few hours on Monday night because of a reported urinary tract infection. The former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister was admitted in Chennai's Apollo Hospital.
The 88-year-old leader was taken to the hospital for a "routine check-up", DMK sources said without elaborating. Hospital sources said Karunanidhi came for check-up relating to urinary tract infection.
Earlier today, Mr Karunanidhi hit out at archrival and Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa for blaming his party's rule for the bad health of the state PSUs, indicating the new government has "nothing" to claim for itself on the projects front, including power generation.
"No new power generation projects have been started. And she blames me for shedding crocodile tears. But people won't be fooled by all this," he had said.
