Chief Ministers of West Bengal and Bihar — Mamata Banerjee and Nitish Kumar — were among the senior political leaders who on Saturday visited the AIIMS where former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee is undergoing treatment, hospital sources said.
According to sources at the AIIMS, 93-year-old Vajpayee’s condition is improving even though he continues to be in the Intensive Care Unit of the cardio-thoracic centre at the hospital.
“Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee is stable. He continues to show improvement and is being monitored by the team of doctors,” the AIIMS said in a statement on Friday.
Mr. Vajpayee, a diabetic, was admitted to the premier hospital on June 11 with a kidney tract infection and chest congestion.
