The Tihar jail administration and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) are in a heated exchange over the health of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Arvind Kejriwal has been in Tihar jail since April 1, following his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in a corruption case related to Delhi’s liquor policy. The AAP leaders claim that Mr. Kejriwal’s health is rapidly deteriorating, with a significant drop in his weight and blood sugar levels while in prison.
However, the jail authorities have refuted these claims, stating that Mr. Kejriwal’s weight loss can be attributed to a decrease in food consumption or low-calorie intake. They have reported that his weight reduced from 65 kg on April 1 to 61.5 kg currently. The prison’s medical officer is closely monitoring his health, with daily checks on his vitals and round-the-clock supervision by a Senior Medical Officer.
On the other hand, AAP MP Sanjay Singh insists that Mr. Kejriwal’s rapid weight loss is a sign of a serious health issue and raises concerns about his blood sugar fluctuation in jail. The AAP alleges that there is a conspiracy to harm Mr. Kejriwal’s health and keep him in jail, led by the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The jail report further mentions that Mr. Kejriwal is receiving proper treatment for all his ailments and is consuming home-cooked meals three times a day. Both parties continue to trade accusations, with the AAP expressing concern for Mr. Kejriwal’s well-being and accusing the jail administration of attempting to downplay his health issues.
In response to the jail’s statement, AAP’s Sanjay Singh reiterates that Mr. Kejriwal’s health is at risk and emphasizes the gravity of his declining health conditions in prison. The political back-and-forth between the AAP and the jail authorities continues, with both sides standing firm on their respective arguments regarding Mr. Kejriwal’s weight loss and blood sugar levels during his incarceration. As the situation unfolds, the public remains divided on the conflicting narratives surrounding the health status of Delhi’s Chief Minister.
