New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, lodged in Tihar jail, has lost eight kilograms of weight since his arrest on March 21, the Aam Aadmi Party said on Saturday, adding that an AIIMS medical board has recommended "paratha and "Inclusion is recommended. Puri" in your diet.
The Delhi High Court on Friday granted an interim stay on the bail granted to Kejriwal by a trial court in a money laundering case related to his government's now defunct excise policy. The High Court may give its final verdict next week on the bail granted to Kejriwal by the lower court.
In a statement, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said the Delhi Chief Minister's regular weight loss is "highly worrying".
On March 21, the day he was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Kejriwal weighed 70 kg. The party claimed that the weight dropped to 63.5 kg on June 2 and to 62 kg on June 22.
"In view of the falling weight of Chief Minister Kejriwal, the AIIMS medical board has recommended inclusion of paratha and puri in his diet," the statement said.
The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has conducted some blood tests on Kejriwal, it said, adding that tests for heart diseases and cancer have not been done yet.
AAP said earlier, doctors at Max Hospital had recommended some tests for Kejriwal, including heart and cancer tests, considering his weight loss. The party said the AAP national convenor had sought extension of his interim bail granted by the Supreme Court for another week beyond June 2 to conduct the trial.
The apex court, which had granted 21-day bail to Kejriwal to campaign for the Lok Sabha elections, refused to extend it.
