The condition of former Water and Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra who was admitted to Ram Manohar lohia Hospital (RMlH) after he fainted while addressing the media on Saturday, is stable.
“He is conscious and normal now and is being monitored continuously. He will be shifted to general wards,” an RMl doctor said. “The Minister is suffering from a little weakness and mild dehydration,” the doctor said. Mishra, who has been on a hunger strike for five days, fainted at around noon in the midst of a Press conference.
On Saturday night, a team of doctors from RMl Hospital had examined Mishra and said his blood sugar level, pulse rate and blood pressure were normal. The doctors had also advised that he be hospitalised, but Mishra carried on with his hunger strike.
The doctors said that the mild dehydration suffered by Mishra was because of no salt intake for the last few days, and described the condition as starvation ketosis
Mishra started his hunger strike on May 10, with the demand that his party release details of foreign tours undertaken by five leaders. He has also levelled allegations of corruption against several party leaders, including the Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and PWD Minister Satyendra Jain.
