''The medical condition of Union Minister Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi remains the same. He continues to be on life support,''a bulletin issued by the hospital authorities in the evening said.

Doctors at the Apollo hospital, where Mr Dasmunsi had been brought yesterday morning from AIIMS following a request from his relatives, had yesterday described Mr Dasmunsi's condition as ''very critical''.
