THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: MLA Saneesh Kumar Joseph, who was injured during the opposition protest in the Legislative Assembly, was kept in a wheelchair for more than a quarter of an hour without being given a bed at the General Hospital. The MLA who was brought to the hospital for observation was taken in a wheelchair for scan and X-ray tests after initial treatment. When he returned after this, the MLA was not given a bed and was put in a wheel chair.

The bed allotted to the MLA during the observation was later given to the watch and wards who sought treatment. The MLA was in a wheelchair whenever the doctors checked the scan results. This time MLA was not given a bed in observation even though there was vacancy.
