Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda visited veteran Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader L.K. Advani at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in New Delhi and enquired about his health.

The 98-year-old leader was admitted to the hospital on Friday evening after developing a chest infection. His condition is reported to be stable.

According to reports, a dedicated team of doctors is overseeing his treatment and conducting specialised medical investigations. Further updates on his health are awaited.

Advani was previously hospitalised in May due to age-related health issues.

One of the most prominent figures in Indian politics, Advani has held several key positions during his long public career. He served as BJP president on multiple occasions and was India's Deputy Prime Minister from 2002 to 2004. He also played a pivotal role in the BJP's emergence as a major national political force.

In 2024, Advani was awarded the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour, in recognition of his contributions to public life.
