Lalu's Condition Improved After Intravenous Therapy: Doctors 

Prakash Sinha, who led the team of doctors for treating Lalu Prasad Yadav, said, "He was kept in the emergency ward where his condition improved after intravenous therapy. He wanted to know if he could go to Delhi in an air ambulance. We asked him to go ahead."

Yadav, the former deputy CM and the Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, told reporters, "My father is a man of courage. He chose to travel by a normal flight".
