Warning?
New Delhi: Electioneering in 40 degrees Celsius-plus temperatures is sending an increasing number of politicians to health check-up clinics, say doctors, though the candidates themselves are loath to admit it.
Delhi candidates' cooling secrets!
Long hours of campaigning in this summer and reduced sleep make politicians prone to heart attacks, doctors say. As an example, they point to 50-year-old Indrajit Purakait, a Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) leader, who lost the district council elections in West Bengal in 2008. Unable to bear the shock, Purakait had a heart attack and died. His experience should serve as a warning to other politicians, the doctors say.
