Kolkata: Marxist leader and former West Bengal chief minister Jyoti Basu was in stable condition yesterday, two days after he fell in the bathroom and suffered a head injury, a doctor said.
A medical board has been formed to treat the 94-year-old leader, who suffered internal haemorrhage in the head after he slipped and fell at his Salt Lake residence on Friday.
"His condition is very stable. We are keeping him under observation. No decision on surgery has been taken. He will again undergo medical tests Tuesday," said Satyabrata Upadhyay, one of the doctors treating him.
