Former West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee has been admitted to a private hospital in Kolkata after deterioration in his health. Buddhadeb, 77, is said to be in a critical condition as his oxygen saturation level is low.
Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and his wife Mira Bhattacharjee had last week tested positive for Covid-19. The CPI(M) leader was being treated at home but his wife was admitted to a hospital.
Bhattacharjee had been suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other age-related ailments for quite some time.
