New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Saurabh Bharadwaj on Tuesday said Delhi water minister Atishi was admitted to a hospital after her sugar level plummeted to 36, during her indefinite hunger strike over the water crisis in Delhi.
“Atishi’s blood sugar level fell to 36, so she has been admitted to LNJP Hospital,” Bharadwaj posted on X.
“Her blood sugar levels had been dropping since last night. When we submitted her blood sample, her sugar levels came out to be 46. When we checked her sugar levels from a portable machine, her sugar levels came out to be 36… Doctors are checking her vitals and only after that will they give suggestions,” he added.
Atishi is on an indefinite hunger strike against the Haryana government for allegedly not releasing 100 million gallons per day (MGD) of water for the national capital, precipitating a severe crisis. Atishi said that the BJP has withheld 100 MGD or more of water, which is Delhi’s share.
Delhi cabinet ministers also wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking a resolution to the issue. Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena has also, meanwhile, assured the AAP leaders of intervention in the matter. He said that the resolution would be arrived at by cooperation rather than the blame game.
Residents in many parts of Delhi have been counting on water tankers to meet their daily requirements of water.
