The former Uttar Pradesh chief minister, who was also governor of Rajasthan, developed an inflammation in the parotid gland and was also diagnosed with irregularities in his kidney function.

Earlier in the day, Yogi Adityanatha took to the Twitter to pray for the recovery of the former chief minister. “I pray to Lord Ram that he returns to good health soon.”

A team of senior doctors is supervising Singh's treatment, and his vital parameters were reported to be under control.

A release on Kalyan Singh's health condition by the hospital read, "There is a slight improvement in his sensorium today as he opened his eyes and gave a very mild response when CM enquired about his well-being."

It added, "A panel of 10 doctors, including director Dr RK Dhiman, was supervising Singh's treatment, and his vital parameters were reported to be under control."

On Sunday evening, Sanjay Gandhi PGI in an official statement informed, "Kalyan Singh had been feeling unwell for almost two weeks.
