AAP accuses BJP of conspiring to kill Kejriwal in jail

New Delhi, July 14: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday accused the BJP of hatching a plot to kill Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by not providing him proper medical care in the jail.

AAP leader and Delhi Minister Atishi said that as state governments led by the BJP "could not match" the welfare works being done by Kejriwal, so it "implicated him in false cases and put him behind bars".

"This is not just a conspiracy to put Arvind Kejriwal behind bars but also to target his health. It is a conspiracy to kill Arvind Kejriwal...", she said at a media conference here.

The AAP leader further said that it is not happening for the first time that "a dictator puts his rivals behind bars to worsen their health (and) kill them..."

She claimed that CM Kejriwal who "has been a diabetic patient for 30 years was not allowed by the BJP-led Central government to take insulin or talk to a doctor until the court's intervention".

The BJP will be held responsible if anything happens to Kejriwal, she asserted.

According to Atishi, as soon as CM Kejriwal got bail from a trial court in the ED case, the BJP moved the Delhi High Court to get his bail cancelled and later got him arrested by the CBI.

She claimed that during Kejriwal's jail period, his sugar level has dipped significantly and frequently. "Anything can happen to him due to low sugar level... his weight has reduced by 8.5 kg," Atishi added.

Two doctors, also present at the press conference, elaborated on the dangers of hypoglycemia -- a medical condition where blood sugar levels drop to dangerously low levels, potentially leading to a coma. The doctors stressed the importance of improving medical care for Kejriwal.
