Mumbai, June 20 : Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray, admitted to Lilavati Hospital in suburban Bandra two days ago, is expected to be there for a few more days and his health is improving.
"The Sena chief's health is improving. A decision on shifting him out of the ICU would be taken within one or two days," senior Sena leader Manohar Joshi told reporters today.
Asked when is the 82-year-old Sena patriarch expected to be discharged, Joshi said no decision had been taken on the issue.
However, Sena mouthpiece 'Saamana' quoting a doctor treating Thackeray said that he would be in the hospital for three to five more days.
Concerns over Thackeray's health prompted the Sena's 43rd foundation day function yesterday being called off. Sena spokesperson Neelam Gorhe declined to link the development with Thackeray's hospitalisation, but there was speculation that his medical condition led to the decision.
Thackeray, who set up the Sena in 1966 espousing cause of sons-of-the-soil, was admitted to Lilavati hospital on June 18 for breathlessness and blood pressure related problems.
The ailing Sena chief has been a regular visitor at the hospital for the last couple of years due to age-related problems. Thackeray has handed over day-to-day functioning of the party to son Uddhav. Zeack
