Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, currently in Tihar Jail following his remand in a money laundering case, has adapted to a routine focused on meditation, reading, and yoga, according to reports. Here’s a glimpse into his daily life behind bars:
Morning Routine
Kejriwal wakes up early, begins his day by sweeping his cell, and then engages in yoga. His breakfast typically consists of two slices of bread and tea.
Health Monitoring
His health parameters, including weight, blood pressure, and sugar levels, are monitored twice daily by senior resident doctors. Despite allegations of weight loss, officials report his health status as stable.
Leisure Activities
Kejriwal spends his time reading books, including the Hindu epics Ramayana and Mahabharata, and ‘How Prime Ministers Decide’. He also occasionally watches television, standing as there is no chair or stool available.
Outdoor Time
Allowed to step outside his cell for walks, Kejriwal cannot interact with other inmates due to security concerns. Whenever he ventures out, the area is cleared to ensure his safety.
Living Conditions
Housed in a 14×8 feet room within Tihar’s general ward number 3, Kejriwal adheres to the jail’s rules, including cleaning his cell with the provided equipment.
Psychological Adjustment
Reportedly appearing dazed and adjusting to his new surroundings, Kejriwal is observed engaging in introspective activities and moments of reflection.
As the first sitting chief minister to be incarcerated at Asia’s largest jail, Kejriwal’s time in Tihar reflects a blend of adaptation, introspection, and adherence to routine within the confines of his confinement.
