Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Narayan Dutt Tiwari, who was admitted to Max Super Specialty Hospital here in September, has been put on life support system after his health deteriorated, a doctor said on Sunday.
The nonagenarian leader was shifted to the Intensive Care unit (ICU) of the hospital from the private ward on October 26 after fever and pneumonia.
His family also said the veteran politician's health continues to deteriorate.
"Tiwariji's blood pressure dropped significantly around 5 p.m. His other health parameters also deteriorated. He has been put on life support," a family member said.
He said doctors termed Tiwari's condition "extremely critical" and were continously monitoring him in the ICU.
Tiwari, a Congress veteran, was admitted to the hospital on September 20 after he suffered a brain stroke and a paralytic attack.
