BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani, 97, was admitted to Apollo Hospital in Delhi after his health deteriorated late last night. Mr Advani, who celebrated his 97th birthday last month, has been facing recurring health issues over the past few months.

“I pray for a good, healthy recovery for our tallest leader, Shri. LK Advani as he is admitted into Appollo Hospital, Delhi,” said Mr Rao posted on X. 

Born on November 8, 1927, in Karachi, Mr Advani joined the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in 1942. Over the decades, he rose to prominence as a key architect of the BJP and served as its longest-serving National President. Mr Advani also held keyroles in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led NDA government, serving as Home Minister and later as Deputy Prime Minister between 1999 and 2004.

In March this year, Mr Advani was conferred the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian honour, by President Droupadi Murmu.

In the first week of July too, LK Advani was brought to this facility and discharged after being kept under observation for a couple of days. He was admitted under Dr Vinit Suri, senior consultant, neurology department.

New Delhi:

Senior and veteran leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Lal Krishna Advani, was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on Thursday.

The BJP leader is stable and under observation, according to doctors.

He was recently conferred with Bharat Ratna by President Draupadi Murmu on March 30, 2024.

Born in Karachi (present-day Pakistan) on November 8, 1927, Mr Advani joined the RSS as a Swayamsevak in 1942. He served as the BJP National President from 1986 to 1990, then from 1993 to 1998, and from 2004 to 2005. Mr Advani had served as the President of the party for the longest period since its inception in 1980.

Capping a parliamentary career of nearly three decades, LK Advani was first the Home Minister and, later, the Deputy Prime Minister in the cabinet of Atal Bihari Vajpayee (1999-2004).

In the run-up to the 2009 elections, Mr Advani being the Leader of the Opposition in a parliamentary democracy was assumingly considered the BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate for the general elections, ending on 16 May 2009, according to the official website of BJP.

On 10 December 2007, the Parliamentary Board of BJP formally announced Mr Advani as its prime ministerial candidate for the general elections due in 2009. But when Congress and its allies won the 2009 general elections, Mr Advani paved the way for Sushma Swaraj to become the Leader of the Opposition in the 15th Lok Sabha.
