Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Cabinet Minister and Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) president Om Prakash Rajbhar was hospitalised on Sunday after showing symptoms of a minor brain stroke.

The minister, who was scheduled to attend a rally in Varanasi, experienced sudden dizziness and slurred speech at his residence in Azamgarh before being rushed to Lucknow for treatment.

Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak personally escorted him to Ram Manohar Lohia Institute, where doctors treated him for nearly two and a half hours. Initial CT scan and blood reports revealed no major complications, though doctors reported difficulty in his speech and movement.

Later, Rajbhar was shifted to Medanta Hospital for advanced neurological care, where a special medical team led by Dr. Anoop Kumar Thakkar and Dr. Rakesh Mishra is monitoring his recovery.

Hospital authorities confirmed that his condition is stable and improving, and he will remain under observation in a private ward. His scheduled rally appearance has been cancelled, and party officials have assured that regular health updates will be shared.
