Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal to undergo naturopathy treatment in Bengaluru

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will leave for Bengaluru later this week to undergo naturopathy treatment for 10 days as he continues to suffer from high sugar level and chronic cough.

He will leave for Bengaluru on March 5 and undergo naturopathy treatment there for 10 days.

Incidentally, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also asked Kejriwal to consult a yoga therapist in Bengaluru for his persistent cough during the Delhi Police's 'At Home' function here a couple of weeks ago.

Sources in the government said that Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia will take care of day-to-day affairs of the Delhi Government in his absence.

"Arvind's sugar level has remained above 300 for the past 10 days. Doctors increased the insulin dose three-fold and intake of other medicines by up to two fold but despite that, cough has worsened and sugar levels continued to remain on the higher side," sources close to Kejriwal said.

"The cough worsened during the hectic Delhi election campaign. He suffers from chronic allergic cough. The dust and pollutants he inhaled while addressing over 110 jan sabhas in the city made things worse," they added.
