On Wednesday, Aam Aadmi Party leader Atishi claimed that Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal was rapidly losing weight ever since his ED arrest in Delhi excise policy case. The AAP leader slammed the BJP for posing a risk to Arvind Kejriwal's health by keeping him in jail.
Atishi wrote on X that Arvind Kejriwal has lost 4.5 kg since he was arrested on March 21, which is very “worrying”. She said Arvind Kejriwal is severely diabetic and “still works 24 hours for the country.”
“Arvind Kejriwal is a severe diabetic. Despite health problems, he used to work 24 hours a day to serve the country. Since his arrest, Arvind Kejriwal has lost 4.5 kg of weight. This is very worrying. Today, the BJP is putting his health at risk by putting him in jail,” Atishi said.
However, the Tihar jail administration, where Kejriwal is lodged till April 15, has denied the claims. A senior Tihar jail official said Kejriwal's vitals are normal.
