Arvind Kejriwal and minister Gopal Rai are still at Lt Governor Anil Baijal's home.
New Delhi:
Arvind Kejriwal's sofa protest at the Delhi Lieutenant Governor's house will now have half its original members. Two of the ministers, Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain, will resume work today after being released from hospital, where they were treated yesterday after their condition worsened because of their hunger strike.
Mr Sisodia announced his recovery on Twitter before getting discharged.
"With doctor's care and your blessings, I am recovering fast," he tweeted.
"Yesterday (Monday), my ketone level was 7.4 and 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," he said.
Chief Minister Kejriwal and another minister Gopal Rai are still at Lt Governor Anil Baijal's home Raj Niwas.
Mr Kejriwal tweeted: "We wrote a letter to Hon'ble LG yesterday seeking meeting of all stakeholders. We r awaiting response from Hon'ble LG Hon'ble LG awaiting green signal from Hon'ble PM, who has to take the decision Whole Delhi waiting for Hon'ble PM to decide fast."
Yesterday, the AAP leaders were rebuked by the High Court, which said: "This can't be called a strike. You can't go inside someone's office or house and hold a strike there."
The Supreme Court, meanwhile, today declined to hold an urgent hearing of a petition seeking a direction to the Delhi High Court to expeditiously hear a plea for declaring the sit-in protest unconstitutional and illegal.
Two other petitions have been filed - one filed by BJP Leader of Opposition in assembly Vijender Gupta and another against what Mr Kejriwal's government calls a "strike" by IAS officers. The court said the IAS association will be party to the cases, all of which will be heard on Friday.
After Mr Kejriwal's assurance to the IAS officers of the Delhi government about their safety, the officers yesterday said that they are open to formal talks with the chief minister and that they look forward to "concrete interventions" for their security and dignity.
