BJP leaders call off hunger strike

Published on: 

leaders of the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) on Tuesday ended their counter hunger strike at the Delhi Secretariat after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal ended his sit-in-protest at lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal's office.

Union Minister Harsh Vardhan visited the Secretariat and offered juice to the BJP leaders sitting on hunger strike for last five days.

Earlier on Tuesday, leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta, who was on an indefinite hunger strike, was shifted to GB Pant Hospital after his condition deteriorated.

West Delhi BJP MP Pravesh Singh Sahib Verma said tweeted, “Vijender Gupta being taken to the hospital. He was on indefinite hunger strike with us for the last five days. May God bless (Delhi Chief Minister) Arvind Kejriwal's wisdomIJ”

The AAP Government has done the entire drama to cover up its failure in Delhi and to sky rocket its dwindling fortune at national level, Gupta said in a statement.

Gupta, along with Pravesh Verma, MlA Manjinder Singh Sirsa and suspended Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MlA Kapil Mishra, started their indefinite hunger strike on June 15 against the alleged “non-performance” of the Kejriwal Government.
