The Sena leader first underwent angioplasty in November 2019, when the state was witnessing the height of the political drama following the Assembly elections. According to people close to the Rajya Sabha MP, he was supposed to undergo another angiography in April-May but decided against it due to the pandemic situation.

“He has been admitted to Lilavati Hospital and will undergo angioplasty after angiography on Thursday afternoon,” Sunil Raut said. In his previous angioplasty, two stents were placed to remove an arterial blockage.
