RJD chief Lalu Yadav admitted at AIIMS

RJD president and former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad was on Wednesday taken to Delhi for treatment at AIIMS, after being admitted to a hospital for a brief period, said his son Tejashwi Yadav.

Speaking to media, Mr Yadav said his father had developed sores on his back and an arm.

“Lalu ji had reached the airport in the afternoon to board his flight for Delhi. My mother Rabri Devi was accompanying him. A sudden drop in blood pressure was noted following which we rushed him to the Paras Hospital,” the former deputy chief minister said.

According to Prakash Sinha, who led the team of doctors treating him, “He was kept in the emergency ward where his condition improved after intravenous therapy. He wanted to know if he could go to Delhi in an air ambulance. We asked him to go ahead.”

However, Mr Yadav, who is now the Leader of the Opposition, said “my father is a man of courage. He chose to travel by a normal flight”.
