Bengaluru: Is the possible split in the Aam Aadmi Party's Punjab unit, as polls loom, the reason for Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's heartburn, and his hush hush visit to the IT capital, renowned for its health facilities?
Mr. Kejriwal flew into the city early Monday and drove straight to hospital where he spent almost five hours at the reputed Mazumdar Shaw Cancer Center at Narayana Health City as speculation raged, on whether he had come for treatment for his heart or his kidneys, until hospital sources, sworn to secrecy finally let out that he was in Bengaluru to tend to his throat.
Kejriwal, a diabetic, was here in February undergoing naturopathy treatment in the city at the Jindal Naturecure Institute for ten days. He has been battling a chronic cough for years and has lost his voice multiple times.
"He arrived on Monday noon and left at around 6 pm," a hospital official said, adding that they were informed only a few hours before he arrived at the facility.
"He came on Monday to get his cough and chest complications treated. He suffers from asthma," revealed the source.
Jindal Naturecure Institute officials were shocked to hear of his arrival. "We were not aware that the Delhi CM had come to another city hospital," K. K. Ghosh, Administrator, Jindal Naturecure Institute said.
