At a time when politicians are in the news for the wrong reasons, this 70-year-old MLA and former Minister has caught the Prime Minister’s attention by proving that it is possible to regain physical fitness with determination, irrespective of health complications.


BJP MLA for Rajajinagar, S. Suresh Kumar, was laid down for months by neurological complications due to a rare variant of chikungunya encephalopathy that made it difficult for him to even fold fingers. But now he has cycled from Bengaluru to Kanyakumari, covering 702 km.
