Sharad Pawar, the NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) chief and a Rajya Sabha MP, is admitted to Ruby Hall Clinic in Pune after complaints of pleuritic chest pain following a bout of coughing. Multiple outlets report that the 85-year-old is undergoing medical examinations and is being kept under observation as a precaution.

NDTV and Free Press Journal say his daughter, Supriya Sule, provides updates and states that his health parameters are stable. Times of India similarly reports that tests show stable parameters and that doctors expect his condition to improve while he remains under medical monitoring. Free Press Journal also includes a statement attributed to the clinic’s chief cardiologist, saying the issue is expected to settle down.

Some coverage also provides additional context about past admissions. Free Press Journal notes this is his third reported hospitalisation at Ruby Hall Clinic in 2026, including two earlier February stays. NDTV focuses on the immediate reason for admission and the stable condition update.
