Trinamool Congress senior leader Mukul Roy's condition is still critical but he's stable now, said the Apollo Hospital on Friday. The 70-year-old politician was admitted Apollo Hospital around 11:30 on Wednesday after he was injured in a fall at his home.
As per the hospital authorities, Roy has been successfully taken out of the ventilator support and kept on oxygen support in Neuro ICU.
"Mukul Roy is drowsy, but stable," they said.
The former Railway Minister was rushed to hospital on Wednesday evening after he fell in a bathroom of his residence at Kanchrapara and lost consciousness. He also received an injury on his head.
He underwent a brain surgery on Thursday afternoon to remove a blood clot that developed in one part of his brain due to hemorrhage.
The Trinamool Congress leader's son Subhrangshu Roy on Wednesday said his father “fell down while going to the bathroom… he vomited and fell unconscious.”
Roy, who is one of the founding members of the Trinamool Congress, is reportedly suffering from dementia and Parkinson’s disease.
He moved to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2017 and won from Krishnanagar Uttar constituency in the 2021 Assembly polls.
However, soon after the BJP lost in the 2021 Assembly election in Bengal, Roy returned to the Trinamool, with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee welcoming him back and saying that he would “play the same role” in the party as before.
Roy also hailed Mamata as the “leader of India” and said, “The situation is such in Bengal that no one will continue in the BJP.”
But on April 17, 2023, Roy was reported “missing” by his son Subhranshu.
The same evening, he was seen in Delhi, where he claimed that he was still with the BJP and called for “change” in the upcoming panchayat elections in West Bengal.
