The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday reiterated its allegation that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is unable to get proper medical attention as he is in jail.
Addressing a press conference in Delhi, senior AAP leader and Delhi cabinet minister Atishi said Kejriwal’s health condition is “worrying” and that he has had his sugar levels falling dangerously low.
The AAP supremo is in judicial custody after being arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in a corruption case linked to the alleged excise policy scam.
"The BJP has conspired to put Kejriwal in jail in a fake case. There is an acute danger to his health. His weight has declined by 8.5 kgs and his sugar levels have fallen below 50 five times in sleep. This is a worrying situation especially for a diabetic," Atishi said.
“Who will be responsible if Kejriwal suffers a stroke, if there is brain damage and permanent damage?,” she asked.
On Saturday, AAP MP Sanjay Singh alleged that the BJP and its government at the Centre were playing with the life of Kejriwal.
"His health condition is such that if he is not brought out of jail soon and provided medical care, something serious can happen to him,” he said.
The Supreme Court had granted interim bail to Kejriwal in a money laundering case on Friday, but the chief minister remains in jail as he has been arrested by the CBI in the corruption case.
The AAP termed the Supreme Court order "historic" and a "victory of truth".
