Mayawati, Birender Singh Dhanoa, Abhishek Manu Singhvi others pay visit to Arun Jaitley at AIIMS

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Saturday arrived at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) to inquire about former Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's health condition.

The 66-year-old was admitted to the hospital after he complained of weakness and palpitation on August 9.

Besides, former Union Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, Air Chief Marshal Birender Singh Dhanoa, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Satish Upadhyay and Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi also paid a visit to the former finance minister.

Earlier on Friday, Union Ministers Amit Shah and Harsh Vardhan, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and other seniors from the ministry visited AIIMS.

Earlier in the evening, President Ram Nath Kovind and Minister of State for Health Ashwini Choubey had, too, visited the hospital to inquire about his condition.

Soon after Jaitley was admitted to AIIMS' Intensive Care Unit (ICU) last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh went on to check on the ailing minister.

The hospital has not yet issued any bulletin on the leader's health. On August 10, Vice President Venkaiah Naidu, on visiting him, was informed by the doctors that he is responding to the treatment and is stable.
