The former Maharashtra chief minister and ex-Lok Sabha speaker was admitted to the hospital on May 22 due to “complications from a brain tumour”. He was taken to the hospital after his condition suddenly deteriorated and he fell unconscious.

The hospital had said in a statement on May 23, “Manohar Joshi was admitted to the hospital on May 22, in an emergency in a semicoma, breathing on his own, not on a ventilator. He has complications from a brain tumour. He is currently in the ICU, being managed medically. He is stable, but continues to need critical management.”

Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray, along with his wife Rashmi Thackeray, had visited the hospital to enquire about Joshi’s health.

Joshi served as the chief minister of Maharashtra from 1995 to 1999 during the Shiv-Sena BJP government and was also Lok Sabha Speaker from 2002 to 2004.
