Sisodia, who was on a hunger strike since June 13 at Lieutenant-Governor Anil Baijal's office-cum-residence, was hospitalised after his health deteriorated on Monday afternoon. He was rushed to the LNJP Hospital after the ketone level in his urine rose sharply and his sugar level slumped.

Jain, who was hospitalised at LNJP Hospital on Sunday night after his condition detoriated, was also discharged.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is still on a sit-in protest at the Baijal`s office along with Rural Development Minister Gopal Rai, took to Twitter, saying: "Eight days of wait to meet the Lt. Governor. Deputy Chief Minister and Urban Development Minister shifted to hospital due to bad health." 

"The Lt. Governor could not find eight minutes in eight days for the people of Delhi. Hope he finds some time today," he added.

Kejriwal, along with his colleagues, have been at Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal's office since June 13, demanding a direction to IAS officers to end what the AAP describes a "strike" and approval of the doorstep ration delivery scheme. 

Meanwhile, the medical condition of Delhi BJP leader Vijendra Gupta, who also has been on a hunger strike at Delhi Secretariat on Monday, deteoriated on Tuesday. An ambulance is on the standby outside the Secretariat.
