RJD president Lalu Prasad's health, which is being treated at AIIMS Delhi, is steadily improving, as per the sources, news agency PTI reported.

The 74-year-old former Bihar chief minister has been admitted to the hospital's Cardio Neuro (CN) Centre's Critical Care Unit (CCU).

According to a source, his condition is steadily improving and he will be transferred to a ward in a few days, PTI reported.

Earlier in the day, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi visited with Prasad and asked physicians about his condition.

Prasad, who was hospitalised in Patna with many fractures after a fall, was flown to Delhi in an air ambulance on Wednesday, PTI reported.

Earlier this week, Prasad's son Tejashwi Yadav stated that his father's condition has "improved," but the decision to transport him to Delhi was made since the physicians at AIIMS are familiar with his medical history.

Prasad, who is on bail in the fodder fraud charges, gained permission from the Jharkhand High Court last month to travel overseas, preferably to Singapore, for a kidney transplant, PTI reported.

Yadav had previously stated that if he is able to go internationally in the next two to four weeks, "we may take him to Singapore."
