Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly Speaker Hriday Narayan Dixit was on Thursday rushed to hospital after he felt dizzy during the session.
Doctors said there was nothing to worry and the 73-year-old BJP leader was fine.
Shortly after the proceedings of the House began at 11 am, Dixit experienced dizziness and was rushed to Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Civil Hospital.
"There is nothing to worry. The Speaker has cervical spondylitis due to which he experienced dizziness. He is in the hospital and is feeling fine now," superintendent, Civil Hospital, Dr Ashutosh Dubey, told PTI.
In Dixit's absence, the proceedings of the House were taken over by Presiding Officer Sukhdev Rajbhar.
