A day after the AAP claimed that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had lost 8.5 kg in prison, Tihar jail sources on Monday said he had only lost 2 kg and he was being regularly monitored by a medical board of AIIMS.
The sources said the jail administration has written to the Delhi government’s Home Department regarding the allegations levelled by AAP Ministers and leaders, saying that such a narrative “confuses and misleads the public”.
Senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh said with this, the Tihar authorities have accepted that Kejriwal has lost weight. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had on Sunday alleged that the BJP was conspiring to harm Kejriwal’s health by keeping him in jail and that he was not getting the necessary medical attention as a diabetic.
