Bangalore: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is being treated at Jindal Nature Cure Institute near here for chronic cough and asthma-related problems. Kejriwal will return to Delhi today evening, as he is almost cured of his chronic cough and blood sugar level reduced to normal range.
The Delhi Chief Minister who was admitted here on March 5 for his chronic cough and asthma-related problems will be discharged from the institute by 2 pm tomorrow,” Dr Babina Nandakumar, Chief Medical Officer at Jindal Nature Cure Institute, told PTI here.
The 46-year-old, who is also the convener of his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), will be discharged from the institute on Monday at 2 pm after final check-up and briefing by doctors treating him since March 6 on how he should continue the prescribed regime, including diet and exercises for another fortnight to maintain his improved health.
The doctor said they had to address Kejriwal’s chronic cough rather differently inspite of initiating traditional nature cure treatments comprising hydrotherapy, massages, packs and mud therapy, along with yoga and diet therapy.
Kejriwal could recover faster as he is disciplined, obedient and cooperative. He was put on a strict diet comprising ayurvedic liquids, vegetable and fruit juices, sprouts, soup, boiled vegetables and soup for breakfast, early lunch and early supper. The organic diet has reduced his body weight considerably,” Thampi said.
Kejriwal`s parents Gobind Ram and Gita Devi were staying with him in a three bedroom cottage named “Nest” in the midst of the sprawling green campus on the National Highway 4. As inmates (patient) are not allowed to use mobile phones or meet outsiders or visitors during their stay in the institute for its treatment, Kejriwal has kept away from both over the last 10 days.
The Delhi chief minister is also learnt to have neither used the landline in his cottage nor watched television, as he was busy with the treatment from dawn-to-dusk and had to sleep by 9 pm. Kejriwal also interacted with about 40 inmates at a cultural event in the institute on Saturday night and posed for pictures with them,” institute medical director Babina Nandakumar said.
