Bangalore, Feb 23 :The State government on Tuesday said it is ready to bear the entire medical expenses of ailing JD-U leader and former defence minister, George Fernandes.
"George Fernandes’s health is failing. He belongs to our state. The state government is ready to bear all his medical expenses," Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa told reporters here.
The state had earlier met the medical expenditure of former president Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy, who had made the city his home after demitting office, he said.
