"The minister is recovering fast. However, it will take at least a week or so to discharge her. Our team of doctors is monitoring her condition," the senior doctor, who was on the team that performed a kidney transplant on the senior BJP leader, told IANS.

The three-hour surgery was performed at the Cardio Thoracic and Neuro Sciences Centre.
The 64-year-old minister, who has been in and out of AIIMS for the last few months, was admitted to the hospital on November 7.
