Kejriwal received two units of mild insulin on Monday evening following advice from AIIMS doctors, reported PTI quoting a Tihar official. Around 7 pm, his blood sugar level measured 217, prompting Tihar doctors to administer the insulin. During an April 20 video conference, AIIMS specialists suggested to Tihar doctors that insulin could be administered if his sugar level exceeded a certain threshold. 

On receiving the news, Bhardwaj slammed the Bhartiya Janta Party through a post on social media platform 'X', he said, "Today it became clear that the chief minister was right, he needed insulin. But the officials under the BJP-led Centre were deliberately not treating him. Tell me BJP people!" He went on to question the central government saying that if there was no need why was it given now?
