New Delhi (TIP): Veteran Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former Deputy Prime Minister Lal Krishna Advani was admitted to Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in Delhi with a chest infection.
His condition is stable, hospital officials said.
The 98-year-old leader was brought to the hospital at around 7.30 pm on Friday and admitted to the pulmonary department. He is currently under observation by a team of doctors, while medical tests are underway.
Advani is undergoing treatment at the hospital, and his condition remains stable, according to the officials.
This is not the first time the veteran leader has been hospitalised in recent months. He was last admitted to Apollo Hospital in May this year due to age-related health complications. He remained under medical care for a few days before being discharged.
Earlier, in December 2024, Advani was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Indraprastha Apollo Hospital for medical management and investigations. He was treated under the supervision of a neurologist. The hospital then stated that his condition was stable.
Born on November 8, 1927, in Karachi (present-day Pakistan), Advani is one of the most prominent leaders in the history of the BJP. He played a key role in the party’s growth from a relatively small political force into a major national political organisation.
