Roja faints during poll campaign

The stifling heat on Friday took its toll on actress-turned-politician Roja who is contesting on a YSR Congress ticket from the Nagari Assembly seat in Chittoor.
The actress fainted in the middle of campaigning at Ekambarakuppam near Nagari on Friday.

The party’s second rung leaders immediately shifted her to a local government hospital where she was given fluids. YSRC sources later said that Roja’s condition was stable and the doctors had advised her to rest for the day. With hardly four days left for the polls in Seemandhra, Roja had been campaigning continuously for 12 hours before she fainted.
