CPI veteran Bardhan’s condition ‘very critical’

NEW DELHI: The condition of veteran CPI leader AB Bardhan, who was admitted to a hospital here on Monday after suffering a paralytic stroke, has become “very critical”, a senior party leader said tonight.

“His health showed no sign of improvement today. His condition has become very critical,” party leader Atul Anjan said after visiting GB Pant hospital, where the ex-CPI general secretary is admitted in the intensive care unit.

Earlier in the day, CPI had said that the 92-year-old veteran of the Left movement in India was “critical, but fighting”.

The party had said that Bardhan “was admitted to GB Pant Hospital after he complained of breathlessness”. “He had brain haemorrhage,” CPI had said in a statement. (AGENCIES)
