SURAT: Shiv Sena’s city unit president Arun Kalal, who was conspicuous by his absence during the hectic political activity when the rebels led by Eknath Shinde camped in Surat, surfaced on Monday and cited health issues for going incommunicado.
“I was under treatment for a couple of surgeries. I had some major health issues for which surgeries were long pending. Hence, I was hospitalized for the past few days,” Kalal told TOI.
