New Delhi, January 22: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah is returning to the national capital from West Bengal, where he arrived earlier in the day to hold meeting with the party's state leadership and address a rally in Malda. Reports have confirmed that Shah's health has weakened once again, which has forced him to return to Delhi for check-up.
"Amit Shah is very ill. He has high fever, but still attended today's rally here. He was discharged few days ago from the hospital after suffering from swine flu," BJP's Bengal unit chief Dilip Ghosh said. Amit Shah Discharged From AIIMS Delhi After Undergoing Treatment for Swine Flu.
Shah will return to New Delhi on Tuesday as his doctors have advised him against attending any other rally due to his ill health, Ghosh added. "If he is fine tomorrow, then he will attend the scheduled rally at Jhargram tomorrow."
Earlier in the day, Shah kick-started the BJP's campaign in West Bengal with a rally in Malda, saying all Bengali refugees would be granted citizenship with the passage of the citizenship bill.
Ghosh added that the BJP chief had asked them to ensure that the other scheduled rallies take place on time.
Notably, Shah, 54, was admitted at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi on January 16, after being diagnosed with swine flu. He was, however, discharged in a couple of days after his health improved.
