The AAP on Saturday claimed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's sugar level has dropped below 50 more than 8 times and that he may even slip into a coma. The AAP claimed that this was a result of the BJP trying to "kill" Arvind Kejriwal.
The AAP was responding to Delhi Lieutenant General Vinai Kumar Saxena's letter to the Chief Secretary directing the Tihar jail authorities to strictly monitor Kejriwal's Health. In his letter, L-G Saxena asked the Tihar jail authorities to ensure that CM Kejriwal followed a diet as advised. L-G Saxena also claimed Arvind Kejriwal had been wilfully avoiding his insulin dosages and asked the prison officials to monitor the same.
Kejriwal is in prison in the CBI case over the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam.
The Delhi L-G said in his letter that he had received a report from the prison superintendent that alleged several instances of willful low-calorie intake by CM Kejriwal, despite sufficient home-cooked food being provided to him. "The diet monitoring chart indicates that between June 6, 2024, and July 13, 2024, the Hon'ble CM had not fully consumed the prescribed diet for all three meals of the day," the letter read.
The prison SP's report also suggests a loss of weight from 63.5 Kg on the date of surrender (June 2, 2024) to 61.5 kg now. "Prima facie, it appears to be due to less calorie intake," L-G Saxena wrote.
The letter further stated that there were "significant variations" between the glucometer test and the Continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) readings on most days and this needed to be verified by appropriate medical authorities.
The L-G said deviations from the prescribed diet and insulin dosage also could have medical and legal ramifications.
AAP's 'Murder Conspiracy' Claim
AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh slammed the Delhi L-G for his letter. "What kind of joke are you making L-G, sir? Would a man reduce his sugar levels at night?... If you do not know about the disease then you should not write such a letter," Singh posted on X.
The AAP has been accusing the BJP of conspiring to kill Kejriwal. Last week, Delhi minister and AAP leader Atishi posted on X: "If Arvind Kejriwal gets a stroke or suffers brain damage then who will be responsible for it? The day the ED arrested Kejriwal, his weight was 70 kg and today [July 14] his weight is 61.5 kg. Sudden weight loss is also a sign of dangerous diseases."
"Today Arvind Kejriwal's life is in danger in jail and if anything happens to him then even God will not forgive BJP," the post added.
