A diabetic patient, Gadkari's condition was stated as "stable" by his Bharatiya Janata Party colleagues.He himself tweeted later: "Had slight medical condition due to low sugar. I have been attended by doctors and I am doing well now. I thank all of you for all the well wishes."
After a short rest at the guest house, Gadkari took a helicopter ride to Shirdi to pray at the Sai Baba temple and later took a private flight to his hometown Nagpur.
Party colleagues said his gruelling daily schedules may have taken a toll on his health which resulted in his collapse.
