Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, detained in Tihar jail since March 21 on charges related to a money laundering case, recently had his sugar levels spike, prompting prison officials to administer insulin. Kejriwal's deteriorating health, compounded by his diabetes, raised concerns among supporters, leading to a dispute between his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and authorities, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) accused Kejriwal of deliberately elevating his sugar levels by indulging in excessive mangoes and sweets to exploit health grounds for bail, an allegation fiercely denied by Kejriwal and his party. Despite his requests for insulin treatment, officials reportedly delayed medical intervention until a court ordered consultation with doctors from Delhi's AIIMS hospital.

The AAP criticized the BJP, alleging deliberate denial of treatment to Kejriwal, while the BJP dismissed the accusations, suggesting a ploy by AAP to garner sympathy during the ongoing general election. Kejriwal's arrest, deemed "illegal" by him, and the subsequent health saga underscore the intensifying political rift in Delhi, with ramifications reverberating throughout India's political landscape.
