  "account": "Veteran BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani, aged 98, was admitted to Apollo Hospital in Delhi on Friday evening due to a chest infection, according to various news outlets. The leader is currently receiving treatment and his health status is reported as stable. Advani was admitted to the pulmonary department of the hospital around 7:30 pm, where a team of doctors is closely monitoring his condition. This admission marks the second time this year that the senior BJP figure has been hospitalized; he was previously treated in May for age-related health concerns before his discharge. Advani, a prominent BJP figure, has held several significant positions within the party, including serving as president three times, Union Home Minister from 1998 to 2004, and Deputy Prime Minister from 2002 to 2004. His political career has been marked by numerous milestones, and in 2024, he was honored with the prestigious Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award, for his contributions to public life.",
