New Delhi, Nov 14: VHP patron Ashok Singhal has been admitted to a multi-speciality hospital in Gurgaon once again after his health deteriorated. Singhal was admitted to Medanta multi-speciality hospital late last night.

He was discharged only two days ago. BJP President Amit Shah and party's general secretary (Organisation) Ramlal, besides Union Health Minister J P Nadda today visited him at the hospital and inquired about his health.
