Sharad Pawar Discharged from Pune Hospital, Advised Rest for Few Days

Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar faction) chief Sharad Pawar was discharged from a hospital in Pune on Wednesday morning (February 25, 2026), after being admitted for dehydration, party sources confirmed.

Hospitalisation Due to Dehydration

The veteran leader was admitted earlier this week after experiencing weakness linked to dehydration. Doctors monitored his condition closely and administered necessary treatment, including fluids and routine medical checks.

According to hospital authorities, Pawar responded well to treatment and showed steady improvement during his stay.

Doctors Advise Rest

Medical officials stated that Pawar is now stable and doing fine but has been advised to take rest for a few days as a precautionary measure. They recommended limited public engagements and adequate hydration to ensure full recovery.

Party leaders said his scheduled meetings and public programmes may be adjusted temporarily in line with medical advice.

Political Leaders Express Relief

Soon after news of his discharge, leaders and workers from the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar faction) expressed relief and extended wishes for his speedy recovery. Supporters had earlier gathered outside the hospital to enquire about his health.

Resumption of Activities Likely Soon

Sources close to the senior leader indicated that Pawar is expected to gradually resume his political activities after completing the advised rest period.

The 85-year-old leader remains an influential figure in Maharashtra politics, and his health updates continue to draw attention across party lines.
