Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal's indefinite fast against "inflated" power bills entered its fifth day today, even as the party's medical team said his health "deteriorated".

In a statement, AAP claimed Kejriwal's health had "deteriorated further".

His blood pressure is 114/70, pulse 74 and sugar 108. His weight has fallen from 65 kg on Day 1 and is now 59.5 kg. The Ketone in his urine sample is 4+, the medical team said.

It also claimed that 82,726 people yesterday signed protest letters pledging not to pay the "inflated" power and water bills, taking the total to the 2.69-lakh mark. These letters would be delivered to Delhi Chief Minister Shiela Dikshit shortly, the statement said.
