Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's health has become a point of political contention as he remains in Tihar jail. While AAP leaders allege serious health risks, citing significant weight loss and low sugar levels, Tihar jail authorities assert these claims are misleading.

The Tihar administration reports Kejriwal's weight loss as minor, from 65 kg to 61.5 kg, and maintains he is regularly monitored and provided with home-cooked meals. Despite AAP's claims, official medical assessments suggest he receives adequate treatment.

Amid ongoing court cases related to alleged irregularities in Delhi's excise policy, BJP leaders accuse AAP of using health scare tactics to facilitate bail for Kejriwal. The conflicting narratives continue to fuel a heated political debate.
