Maharashtra Minister Dhananjay Munde Says Diagnosed With Bell's Palsy, Ability To Speak Affected

The National Congress Party (NCP) leader also disclosed that he had undergone surgery on both his eyes a fortnight ago.

In a post on X, Munde said, “I had surgery on both my eyes fifteen days ago. The surgery was done under the guidance of Padma Shri Dr. T.P. Lahane. For about ten days, he advised me to take care of my eyes, especially from strong light, dust and sun.”

In the same message, he added, “Meanwhile, I was diagnosed with a disease called Bell's palsy. The treatment for it is currently underway under the guidance of the famous Dr. Arun Shah of Reliance Hospital. Due to this disease, I am currently unable to speak properly for even two minutes continuously. Therefore, I have not been able to attend one or two cabinet and party Janata Darbar programs.”
