On path to recovery, Nalin limits updates to tweets

Mangaluru: BJP state president Nalin Kumar Kateel is working from home and Twitter is his new virtual office. Ever since he tested positive for coronavirus on August 30, which he confirmed in a tweet, Nalin due to health conditions has largely remained incommunicado with the rest of the world, but for his tweets. Even the news of his discharge post treatment from a private hospital here on Sunday was in the form of tweets.
Barring a ‘tweet’ less day on September 4 from the time he went in for treatment, Nalin has been utilising the 280-character space that the micro blogging and social networking site offers to good use.
Thanking Goddess Durga Parameshwari of Sri Kshetra Kateel, love and blessings of all his constituents, Nalin in separate tweets said he is now free from Covid-19. “Doctors have advised me to remain in quarantine for the next few days,” Nalin said. Noting that he has not seen God with his own eyes, Nalin said he saw the almighty in the doctors and nursing staff who put their lives on the line and worked round the clock in treating him.
BJP Dakshina Kannada unit president Sudarshan Moodbidri told TOI that Nalin’s health had taken a turn for the worse after an arduous road trip to Kalyana Karnataka region, prior to him testing positive.
