RJD supremo Lalu Prasad to be taken to AIIMS, Delhi on Saturday for treatment

Patna, RJD supremo Lalu Prasad will be taken to AIIMS, Delhi, on Saturday for medical treatment, according to his eldest daughter Misa Bharti.

Prasad was brought to Patna's Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS) after experiencing fluctuations in his blood pressure on Friday evening.

"He was admitted to IGIMS following fluctuations in his blood pressure. Doctors conducted a detailed examination and discharged him after his condition stabilised. He will be taken to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi, for further medical care on Saturday," Bharti, RJD MP, told reporters.


She said that Prasad is currently stable. Doctors advised that he remain under observation at home before travelling to Delhi, where he regularly receives specialised treatment at AIIMS, she said.

Misa also said that the Kautilya Nagar area, where the RJD supremo recently shifted, has serious sanitation issues. However, she remarked that if they raise the issue, people may think otherwise. "Sanitation is a big issue in Kautilya Nagar," she said.

After almost two decades, former chief minister Rabri Devi, along with her husband Lalu Prasad, recently shifted from their government bungalow at 10 Circular Road to their own private house in Kautilya Nagar in Patna. The 10 Circular Road bungalow was allotted to Nand Kishore Ram, Bihar minister for Animal Husbandry, Fisheries, and Dairy Resources.

The RJD supremo has been dealing with multiple health issues over the past several years. He underwent a successful kidney transplant surgery in Singapore in December 2022.
