New Delhi: Former Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who has been put on life support at the AIIMS hospital, is in a critical condition, hospital sources said on Saturday. Jaitley has been put on extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), which is used for patients whose lungs and heart are incapable of operating on their own.

Several political leaders came to AIIMS to meet the senior BJP leader. Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) President Mayawati visited the hospital, too. "Today I went to AIIMS to see former Finance and Defence Minister Arun Jaitley to enquire about his health. There I met his family members and with them, I prayed to God for the speedy recovery of Jaitley ji," she tweeted.
