Former Chief Minister of Jharkhand and Shibu Soren was admitted to Sir Gangaram Hospital in New Delhi following health complications, an official said. He was accompanied by his son and the current CM of Jharkhand Hemant Soren.
Earlier this year, the JMM Supremo was admitted to a private hospital here after he complained of breathing problems. "Respected Baba was little unwell after which he was admitted to Medanta Hospital, Ranchi. He is undergoing treatment under the supervision of specialist doctors," Soren had then written on Twitter and shared a picture of his father.
Shibu Soren, fondly called 'Guruji', served as Jharkhand chief minister thrice between 2005 and 2010. He was a Lok Sabha member for eight terms and is now a Rajya Sabha MP. The tribal leader, who was a key figure in the movement for creation of Jharkhand, was in the Union cabinet from October 2004 to March 2005.
