BJP veteran LK Advani was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi on Wednesday night. An AIIMS spokesperson said the 96-year-old is “stable and under observation”. In March this year, President Droupadi Murmu had conferred Advani with the prestigious Bharat Ratna at his residence. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was also present at the occasion. Advani served as the Minister of Home Affairs from 1998 to 2004, and as deputy prime minister from 2002 to 2004. He is one of the co-founders of the BJP and was the party’s prime ministerial candidate during the 2009 general election.
