BJP MP Abhijit Gangopadhyay Critical, Likely to Be Shifted to Delhi AIIMS
BJP MP Abhijit Gangopadhyay, who was formerly a judge of the Calcutta High Court, is currently undergoing treatment at a private hospital in South Kolkata. He remains in the ICU under critical observation. BJP leadership is reportedly planning to airlift him to Delhi for treatment at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).
Medical Condition: Acute and Concerning
Abhijit Gangopadhyay is suffering from two severe medical conditions:
Acute Pancreatitis
Gastrointestinal Sepsis
Doctors say both are serious, life-threatening illnesses. He is currently on low-flow oxygen support, with a multi-disciplinary medical team monitoring him closely.
Airlift Strategy and Central Involvement
Sources indicate that the BJP, in consultation with doctors and the central government, is planning an airlift to Delhi.
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) has already contacted his family and extended all support.
Latest Medical Update
No deterioration in the last 24 hours, but no improvement either.
ICU monitoring continues due to high risk.
Doctors have hinted at the need for long-term specialist care, which could be better provided at AIIMS.
Before joining the BJP ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Abhijit Gangopadhyay retired from his post as a judge and contested from Tamluk, winning the seat and becoming an MP. He is known for delivering landmark rulings while in the judiciary. Senior BJP leaders including Suvendu Adhikari and Dilip Ghosh have visited the hospital to check on his condition.
The BJP’s state and central leadership are deeply concerned about his health.
