Kejriwal's 'Failing Health' In Jail Brings INDIA Bloc Together As Parties Decide To Stage Protest On July 30
AAP said that the opposition bloc INDIA will hold a rally on July 30 at Delhi's Jantar Mantar to raise the issue of Arvind Kejriwal's deteriorating health inside Tihar Jail.
Delhi News: The INDIA bloc is set to hold a rally on July 30 (Tuesday) at Delhi's Jantar Mantar to raise the issue of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's deteriorating health inside Tihar Jail, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said on Thursday. The AAP supremo is lodged in jail in a case pertaining to the now-scrapped liquor policy in the national capital.
The AAP has been accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of conspiring to kill the Delhi CM inside the jail and cited his medical report to show that his sugar levels had fallen 26 times between June 3 and July 7.
The party, a constituent of the opposition bloc INDIA, has been accusing the Centre and Delhi Lt Governor V K Saxena of playing with Kejriwal's life. "The INDIA bloc will hold a big rally at Jantar Mantar on July 30 to raise the issue of Kejriwal's falling health," the AAP said in a post on X.

BJP Conspiring Against People Of Delhi In Every Way, Says Atishi
During a press conference, Atishi responded to a query pertaining to the rally. The Delhi Minister hit out at the saffron party over Kejriwal's declining health.
"The Bharatiya Janata Party is conspiring against the people of Delhi in every way. It is stopping the work of the people of Delhi. It is stopping the money of the people of Delhi. The BJP got Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain who worked for the people of Delhi arrested," she claimed, as quoted by news agency PTI.
Atishi further claimed that when the BJP got to know that Kejriwal could get bail from the Supreme Court, they got him arrested by the CBI.
"They know that Kejriwal has diabetes since last 30 years. His weight has gone down by 8.5 kg in custody. A glucometer monitors his sugar levels during the entire day. The data of this device is shared with the LG and the Centre. They know that Kejriwal's sugar levels have declined to dangerous levels," she said.
Atishi Claims Kejriwal's Sugar Levels Dropped 34 Times
Atishi claimed that the chief minister's sugar levels have gone down 34 times. "BJP knew this and got him arrested by CBI. BJP wants that his health should be permanently damaged. All the INDIA bloc parties will protest against Kejriwal's custody and the prevailing danger to his health," the AAP leader further stated.
The AAP chief was arrested on March 21 by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case linked to the alleged excise policy scam and has been granted interim bail by the Supreme Court. However, he is currently lodged in Tihar in a connected CBI case.
