New Delhi, Aug 17 (IBNS): Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati, Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi on Saturday visited Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) veteran Arun Jaitley, who is in critical condition, at the AIIMS here, media report said.

Last night, Union Home Minister and BJP president Amit Shah visited the hospital.

Jaitley, the former Union Finance Minister, was admitted to the AIIMS on August 9 with complaints of breathing problems.
