Kejriwal's Health In Danger In Jail? AAP Makes Big Allegations Against BJP

AAP has accused BJP of putting Kejriwal behind bars in a "fake" case and that if anything happens to the Delhi CM in judicial custody, its responsibility will be on the saffron party. 

The Aam Aadmi Party has alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party is conspiring to harm Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's health by keeping him in jail and that he is not getting medical attention as a diabetic. 

Addressing a press conference on Sunday Delhi cabinet minister Atishi claimed that there was an "acute" danger to the AAP supremo's health in judicial custody as his sugar levels have been falling dangerously low. 

"Arvind Kejriwal has been suffering from acute diabetes for 30 years. He is a serious diabetic patient. In the last few weeks, his sugar level has fallen to very dangerous levels many times," she claimed, reported PTI. 

The AAP leader accused the BJP of putting Kejriwal behind bars in a "fake" case and that if anything happens to the Delhi CM in judicial custody, its responsibility will be on the saffron party. 

"Today, the BJP is engaging in these actions, and it is not the first time in history that dictators have imprisoned their opponents and tried to harm their health or even take their lives while they are in jail," she alleged.

When the trial court granted bail to Kejriwal, the BJP understood that if not today, then tomorrow, he will be released from jail, she added. 

She also claimed that Kejriwal's health is gradually deteriorating in jail, adding that his sugar levels have dropped below 50 mg/dl more than five times in sleep.

"If the sugar level falls below 70-60, then anything can happen to that person. A sleeping person can go into a coma due to low sugar levels, he can have a brain stroke, he can have seizures, he can have permanent brain damage," said the AAP leader.

"If Arvind Kejriwal suffers a stroke, brain damage, or permanent damage, who will be responsible for that?" she said.

The Delhi minister also expressed concern over Kejriwal's "unexplained weight loss of 8.5 kg" since his arrest.

Hitting back at the AAP, Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva that AAP the AAP leaders were enacting a "drama" by repeating the statements on Kejriwal's health to "mislead" the court and get bail for him.

Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case linked to alleged irregularities in his government's scrapped excise policy 2021-22, was recently granted bail by the Supreme Court but remains in jail in a related CBI case.
