AAP leaders urge Opposition to raise concerns over Kejriwal's health in jail, alleging BJP aims to keep him imprisoned.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders flagged the issue of the “failing health” of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal at the INDIA bloc meeting on Tuesday. Mr. Kejriwal is currently lodged in Tihar Jail in connection with the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy.
According to sources, AAP’s Rajya Sabha members Sanjay Singh and Raghav Chadha urged the Opposition leaders to raise the issue of Mr. Kejriwal’s mistreatment. Sources said Mr. Chadha suggested that the INDIA bloc leaders visit the AAP chief in jail to send a message to the country that the Opposition stands by him.
At an earlier press conference, Mr. Singh had claimed that the Delhi Chief Minister’s blood sugar level dropped to below 50 mg/dl at least five times in jail. “The aim of the BJP and its government at the Centre is to keep him in jail,” Mr. Singh had alleged.

The heat of the recently concluded local body elections spilled over into the first meeting of the newly elected council of the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation, as the Opposition Left Democratic Front (LDF) questioned the propriety of the 20 councillors to whom the Kerala High Court had issued a notice regarding their oaths, participating in the council.
