Patna, April 2 (NationPress) - RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav was transported to New Delhi for medical evaluation and treatment after experiencing a decline in his health on Wednesday morning.
His son and Leader of Opposition in Bihar, Tejashwi Yadav, accompanied him to the Patna Airport. The RJD leader is currently facing challenges with elevated blood sugar levels, which have raised significant concerns among healthcare professionals.
Despite undergoing regular health checks in Patna, his condition showed no signs of improvement. A visible bandage was noted on his hand as he departed for Delhi.
The RJD leader is set to undergo comprehensive medical testing in Delhi, where doctors will assess his blood sugar levels along with other health indicators.
Lalu Prasad Yadav has been consulting with specialists at AIIMS Delhi due to several health issues. He has made numerous visits to the national capital for medical evaluations and treatments.
In 2022, he had a kidney transplant in Singapore, with his daughter Rohini Acharya serving as the donor.
He also underwent an angioplasty in Mumbai in September 2024 and had open-heart surgery in a Mumbai hospital in 2014.
Last month, the RJD chief was actively opposing the Waqf Amendment Bill. On March 26, he participated in a protest in Gardanibagh against the bill, despite his health issues. Since then, he has been absent from public appearances.
Meanwhile, RJD associates and supporters are fervently wishing for his quick recovery.
With the Bihar Assembly elections in 2025 approaching, Lalu Yadav's health status might influence the RJD's election strategies.
The former Railway Minister and Chief Minister of Bihar is a prominent figure in the state, maintaining strong influence across various castes and communities, and guiding every decision made by his party.
No decision is made by party leaders without his approval.
Lalu Prasad Yadav has already declared Tejashwi Yadav, a former Deputy Chief Minister, as the party's Chief Ministerial candidate for the upcoming elections.
