Niraj Kumar Singh took to Twitter to share a photo where he is seen greeting the locals, seemingly when he was being discharged from the hospital.
The politician wrote, “With your love and blessings, I am completely fine now. Please vote for only NDA candidates and ensure that an honest government is elected in the state.”
It was on October 15 that Singh had been hospitalised after suffering chest pain during interaction with locals in his Chhatapur constituency. Later, it was informed that he had suffered a heart attack and on doctor’s instructions he was taken to a hospital in Delhi.
The recovery will be a boost for him, with Chhatapur going to polls in the third phase of the elections on November 7.

The elections are already underway with the first phase of elections in which 71 seats were contested. 94 seats are set to go for elections in the second phase on November 3, while Chhatapur is one of 78 seats for the last and final phase. The results are scheduled to be announced on November 10.
Sushant’s cousin, who has been elected as an MLA from the same constituency twice, had been vociferous in raising questions over the loopholes in the late actor’s death. He had even slammed the accused Rhea Chakraborty and her family over the statements from her and her lawyer. Singh had also sent a legal notice to Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut over his controversial statements made against the family.
