Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and Health Minister Satyendar Jain were on Tuesday morning discharged from LNJP Hospital, where they had been admitted after their health deteriorated due to an indefinite fast started last week.
Mr. Sisodia and Mr. Jain had been on hunger strike since June 13 and June 12 at Raj Niwas, where they were staging a sit-in since June 11 to demand an end to what they call a strike by government officers.
On Sunday night, Mr. Jain was shifted to the hospital, followed by Mr. Sisodia on Monday morning.
Aam Aadmi Party sources said the two leaders had been discharged on Tuesday morning. The duo have gone back to their respective homes, sources said.
Still in hospital at the time, Mr. Sisodia had tweeted at 8.46 a.m.: "Good Morning!!With Doctor's care and your blessings, I am recovering fast. Yesterday, my ketone level was 7.4 & BP reached 184/100, which was leading to renal failure. But now everything is under control. If doctors allow I'll try to be back to work today only."
Medical Superintendent of the LNJP Hospital J.C. Passey said, “Both the ministers were discharged around 10 am. Their health parameters, including ketone level in urine are normal now.”
