On Friday night, former Deputy Prime Minister Lal Krishna Advani, 98, was transferred to Apollo Hospital following complaints of chest pain. He was admitted to the hospital's pulmonary wing at around 7:30 p.m., where a dedicated team of specialists began monitoring his condition. Current assessments indicate that his health remains stable, and he is responding positively to the administered care. Advani, a three‑time BJP president and a key figure in the NDA government from 1998 to 2004, previously underwent a brief hospitalization in May for senior‑citizen health checks. The present episode underscores his ongoing battle with respiratory complications.
