Jaitley's health deteriorates, say AIIMS sources

August 24, 2019 10:12

The health of former Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who is admitted to AIIMS, deteriorated on August 23, hospital sources said.

Former Union Minister Uma Bharti visited the hospital to enquire about his health.

On August 19, BJP veteran LK Advani, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat, UP Governor Anandiben Patel, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi, Delhi Lt Governor Anil Baijal and BJP MP Maneka Gandhi visited the hospital to know about Jaitleys health.

Jaitley, 66, was rushed to All India Institute of Medical Sciences on August 9 after he complained of breathlessness and restlessness.

AIIMS has not issued any bulletin on Jaitleys health since August 10. Hospital sources on August 20 said he is on life support. A multidisciplinary team of doctors is monitoring his condition.

Jaitley did not contest the 2019 Lok Sabha election, presumably because of his ill-health.
