"As I have fever since yesterday, I checked for dengue today as per the doctor's advice. A little while ago, his report came and it turned out that I have dengue. I will resume my daily and party work as soon as possible after resting for a few days," he said.

Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar too was diagnosed with dengue recently. He broke away from the Sharad Pawar-founded party and joined the BJP-led NDA in July to become a part of the state government.
