Bavarian Premier Markus Söder has been forced to cancel a visit to the southern Indian state of Karnataka after contracting a gastrointestinal infection in New Delhi.
Söder, the leader of the Christian Social Union (CSU), was unable to travel to Karnataka, a spokesman for his office said on Monday.
Karnataka is a partner region of Bavaria.
The 58-year-old arrived in India for a visit on Saturday and conducted several official appointments, but has been forced to remain in his hotel in New Delhi.
His delegation continued to the south-western state under the leadership of Florian Herrmann, the leader of the Bavarian state chancellery.
Söder’s CSU is set to enter the next German government as one of the partners in a three-way coalition.
