Union defence minister Rajnath Singh, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath and deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya visited the veteran politician before he was moved to SGPGI’s critical care medicine ICU. A panel of 10 doctors, including director Dr RK Dhiman, was formed to monitor and treat the ailing BJP leader.
His blood pressure and pulse are stable, but he has altered sensorium which is being treated by doctors of cardiology, nephrology, endocrinology and neuro-autology, according to a SGPGI bulletin. An RMLIMS statement released on Sunday evening said Singh was admitted to the facility on June 21 with acute blood bacterial peritonitis and sepsis. Antibiotics administration helped control his sepsis, but brain scans showed blood clots.
