“I want to say with full responsibility that a conspiracy is underway for the slow death of Kejriwal,” party spokesperson and Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj said.
Citing the blood sugar readings of Kejriwal, Bharadwaj also came down heavily on Tihar administration, BJP, Center and Delhi LG for allegedly denying insulin to Kejriwal and said the Delhi Chief Minister was suffering from diabetes for the last 20-22 years.
Bharadwaj said that the Delhi CM was allowed by the court to use a machine in the jail to monitor his daily blood sugar levels.
“Overall, it was a conspiracy to finish Kejriwal so his multiple organ damage and when he comes out of jail after 2-4 months he goes for treatment of kidney, heart and other organs,” Delhi health minister added.
The development comes a day after Kejriwal’s council senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi said that the jailed CM has been provided insulin to control his blood sugar level since his arrest, ending it ‘shocking’ and ‘alarming.’
Previously, the Enforcement Directorate had claimed that Arvind Kejriwal, despite having type 2 diabetes, was purposefully eating food with high sugar intake like mangoes and sweets everyday to create grounds for a medical bail or shift to a hospital.
