Uddhav Thackeray to visit former Pm in hospital

Shiv Sena president Uddhav

Thackeray may leave for New Delhi this evening to enquire

about the health of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari

Vajpayee, who is on life support at the AIIMS, sources said.

The 93-year-old BJP leader is battling for life and

remains on advanced life support at the All India Institute of

Medical Sciences for the second day.

"Atal ji and Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray shared

close relations when the Sena supremo was alive. Their

personal bonding was one of the reasons why the BJP-Sena

alliance stayed strong for decades. It would be natural for

Uddhav ji to visit the former Prime Minister to check on his

health," a source close to Thackeray said.

A battery of leaders from the BJP, including Prime

Minister Narendra Modi, party chief Amit Shah, Lal Krishna

Advani and Union ministers have visited the AIIMS, as anxiety

grew over the health of Vajpayee.
