BJP claims Kejriwal deliberately departing from prescribed diet

New Delhi: BJP on Friday took a swipe at Arvind Kejriwal once again for his “food preferences” in jail as the party claimed that the jailed Delhi chief minister is not only deliberately eating “Aloo Poori” but even wolfed down eggs during Navratri despite being clinically diabetic.
“I believe Kejriwal is mindful of what he should or shouldn't eat for someone who is a diabetic.However, what surprised me is that he even ate eggs during the Navratras. I thought he would have avoided eggs during Navratra as is customary. However, ultimately, it's a matter of his personal choice whether he wants to have eggs during Navratra or not,” said BJP spokesperson Shazia Ilmi at a press conference.
During his submissions before the court earlier, the counsel for the Enforcement Directorate, claimed that Kejriwal had been deliberately departing from his clinically advised diet to bump up his sugar levels to make a stronger case for bail.
Hitting back at AAP, which claimed earlier that Kejriwal’s health concerns were being deliberately ignored, the BJP spokesperson said, “Why would a responsible government agency bring harm to someone it is mandated to protect?"
Refuting AAP claims that the CM was being denied insulin, Shazia added, “As the prison manual says, an inmate cannot be administered an injection in jail. A medical assistant has been assigned to him, who administers him insulin as prescribed. The jail administration has confirmed as much.”
