Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Yadav will be shifted to AIIMS in Delhi on Saturday for treatment after his health deteriorated. Lalu is currently undergoing treatment for lung infection at a hospital in Ranchi where he is serving a sentence after being convicted in the Bihar fodder scam.

The decision was taken by the Board of doctors at the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences who informed the jail officials about the RJD leaders worsening health. Preparations for his transfer to Delhi began as soon as the hospital got a go ahead from the jail officials.

Lalu had complained of congestion in chest on Thursday evening. On Friday, Lalus son Tejashwi Yadav had said that the his condition is critical and he will meet Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren to speak with him about his fathers health.

"We want better treatment for him, but it is for doctors to analyse what treatment can be provided here, after all the test reports come. His situation is serious. I will meet the Chief Minister on Saturday," Tejashwi Yadav told reporters in Ranchi on Friday.
