Kolkata: West Bengal Assembly Speaker Rathindra Bose was hospitalised after he complained of uneasiness and chest pain, officials said on Saturday.
Bose was admitted to a hospital near the EM Bypass in the eastern part of Kolkata on Friday night as he reported discomfort after returning home from a programme at the state assembly, they said.
His condition is currently stable, and he is under observation, the assembly officials said.
According to family sources, Bose had attended a programme at the assembly on Friday to mark the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi and other events. He also participated in several other programmes during the day.
