The condition of former Prime Minister and veteran BJP leader Atal Bihari Vajpayee is said to be critical as he continues his struggle to survive in Delhi's AIIMS. There has been no official declaration about his death from the hospital administration but it looks like some media houses are in a terrible hurry to declare him dead. 

A few media organisations have declared Atal Bihari Vajpayee dead on their website even when there have been no official reports claiming the same. A few websites even sent desktop alerts saying that the former Prime Minister has been declared dead.

"Atal Bihari Vajpayee no more! Dies at age of 93," read an alert as the nation continued to pray for the improvement of his health. 

The websites, it seems, are in a hurry to break the story to internet users and can't even wait for an official statement, or for a miracle in this case, as doctors say that he is still being treated. 

Vajpayee was admitted to New Delhi's All India Institute of Medical Sciences on June 11. Politicos have since been dropping in to visit the ailing leader. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah also went to see Vajpayee on Thursday morning.
