Lalu Yadav Leaves for Delhi for Advanced Medical Care

Speaking to the media before leaving Patna, Misa Bharti said that Lalu Yadav's condition had improved and that he would continue treatment under the supervision of specialists at AIIMS, New Delhi, where he has been receiving medical care for several years.

"Lalu Prasad's condition is much better now. He is already under treatment at AIIMS Delhi, and further consultation and treatment will continue there,” Misa Bharti said.

Lalu Yadav's health deteriorated unexpectedly on Friday, prompting his admission to Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS), Patna.

He was accompanied by Rabri Devi, Misa Bharti, and his elder son Tej Pratap Yadav.

Doctors conducted a detailed medical evaluation, including an ECG and a comprehensive eye examination led by Dr. Vibhuti Prasanna Sinha, Head of the Ophthalmology Department.

After being kept under observation for nearly two hours, he was discharged once his condition stabilised.

Following his discharge, Misa Bharti attributed part of his discomfort to poor sanitation in Patna's Kautilya Nagar area.

She also criticised the state administration over reports that senior district officials accompanied the wife of Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary during a college inspection.

“The government should decide whether she is entitled to security cover. I heard the District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police were accompanying her. The government should ask under what authority they were there to serve the Chief Minister's wife instead of the public,” she remarked.

Lalu Yadav has been under continuous medical supervision since undergoing a kidney transplant.

Around two months ago, he travelled to Singapore for a routine post-transplant check-up after obtaining permission from a Delhi court.

Doctors have advised medical reviews every three months, although regular follow-ups had been disrupted over the past year.

During medical examinations in December 2025, doctors also diagnosed cataracts and retinal problems.

He subsequently underwent successful cataract and retinal surgery at a private eye hospital in Delhi and has since been undergoing periodic follow-up examinations.

Doctors will now conduct further evaluations at AIIMS Delhi to monitor his overall health and continue his long-term treatment plan.
