Kejriwal back from B’luru, meets ministers

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday returned to the national Capital from Bengaluru after undergoing 10 days of naturopathy treatment for his chronic cough at a private medical institute.

Within hours of his return, Kejriwal met his ministers at his official residence to discuss issues such as the indefinite strike called by Municipal Corporation sanitation workers and the death of a six-year-old boy at the Ryan International School in South Delhi.

The Chief Minister had left for Bengaluru on January 27. A senior government official said that Kejriwal’s cough had worsened in the winter. Also, the Chief Minister’s sugar levels were high. In March last year, Kejriwal had undergone a 10-day course of naturopathy treatment for his high sugar level and chronic cough at a health institute in Bengaluru.

Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia had taken care of the day-to-day affairs of the Delhi government during Kejriwal’s absence. Delhi witnessed the strike by sanitation workers, teachers and doctors of the  BJP-ruled MCDs over the non-payment of salaries while Kejriwal was away in Bengaluru.
