Former Chhattisgarh chief minister Ajit Jogi, who underwent surgery for spine injuries suffered in an accident on April 11, will continue to be in the ICU for some more time as he has developed a chest infection, neurosurgeon Dr C E Deopujari, who is attending on him, said on Thursday.

Dr Deopujari said the infection has sapped Jogi of a lot of energy. He, however, said all other health parameters of the Congress leader are normal.

The 59-year-old former chief minister suffered spinal and head injuries when his car crashed into a tree while he was out campaigning in Chhattisgarh.
