Senior AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh on Saturday claimed that the weight of the incarcerated Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has dropped by 8.5 kg since his arrest on March 21 and alleged that the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi are conspiring to keep him in jail ‘to play with his health’.

Singh alleged, “When Arvind Kejriwal was arrested on March 21, his weight was 70 kg and today his weight has dropped by 8.5 kg to 61.5 kg. The reason for this is not known, no serious investigation is being done to find out how he lost so much weight. Losing 8.5 kg weight and not knowing the reason for it are symptoms of many serious diseases, you can ask any doctor.” He added that this is a matter of serious concern.

He claimed that this is part of a conspiracy hatched by the BJP and said, “We have been saying from day one that on one hand, BJP's aim is to harass Arvind Kejriwal, to keep him in jail. On the other hand, the aim of the BJP and the Modi government is to play with Arvind Kejriwal's life.”

“A conspiracy is being hatched by the BJP and its central government to make him suffer from the most serious disease, for an incident to take place with him in jail, to have some serious health problem,” Singh said, adding that since Kejriwal is in jail, it has happened about five times, when his sugar level suddenly fell below 50 at night.

The Rajya Sabha MP asked the court to take cognizance and stated, “When there was every possibility that he would get relief from the Supreme Court, just before that the CBI made a false case against Kejriwal so that these people could play with his life. They are harassing Arvind Kejriwal, but it is a conspiracy of the BJP and Prime Minister Modi that some accident happens to Kejriwal in jail. Therefore, the court should also take cognizance of this.”
