The Speaker had been in Patna to attend the All-India Parliamentary Presiding Officers’ Conference. Early Monday morning, he complained of chest pain and discomfort.

He was promptly rushed to Patna Medical College and Hospital and later referred to the Indira Gandhi Institute of Cardiology for detailed diagnostic tests and necessary treatment.

Doctors at the institute confirmed that all test reports were normal and Devnani’s condition is stable.

Speaking about his health, Devnani stated: “It was an acidity issue. I am feeling fine now and plan to return to Jaipur.”

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, the Bihar Assembly Speaker, and other leaders visited the hospital to check on Devnani’s health.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma also called Devnani to inquire about his condition.

The Chief Minister arranged for the state plane, accompanied by a team of specialist doctors, including SMS Medical College Principal Dr Maheshwari and RMC Registrar Dr Girdhar Gopal Goyal, to ensure Devnani’s safe return to Jaipur.
