Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) MP and former Calcutta High Court judge, Abhijit Gangopadhyay, who fell critically ill with acute pancreatitis, was airlifted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences-New Delhi on Thursday, according to party officials. He was initially admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a private medical facility in Kolkata on June 14.

BJP West Bengal State president Sukanta Majumdar noted that Mr. Gangopadhyay’s condition was slowly deteriorating, and he needed better care, so his family and party officials decided to shift him to AIIMS Delhi.
