Several high-profile politicians, including Congress President Rahul Gandhi, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, and actor-politician Rajinikanth among others, have visited the five-time chief minister of Tamil Nadu at the Kauvery Hospital in Chennai.

 

Karunanidhi was admitted to the hospital following a drop in his blood pressure. The DMK chief was earlier undergoing treatment at his Gopalapuram residence in Chennai.
