Summary Ailing Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackera has been reportedly put on a ventilator.
According to Indian media quoting the Shiv Sena sources, ailing Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray s condition was described as "serious" late Wednesday night.
"Thackeray is serious, but stable. A team of doctors is continuously monitoring him," a party official, preferring anonymity, told an Indian news agency.
There were reports that the 86-year-old leader had been put on a ventilator, but party officials denied them.
Two days ago, Thackeray, in a personalised edit in Saamna, the party mouthpiece, had declared that his health was poor, but he was not put on ventilator, as claimed by a section of the media.
The Sena chief s nephew Raj Thackeray visited him in the afternoon at Matoshri , the clan s home in Mumbai s Bandra east.
