Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal said Thursday that due to ill health he will not be able to meet Anna Hazare, who is on a hunger strike in Ralegan Siddhi in Maharashtra to demand the passing of Lokpal Bill.
"I wanted to go and meet Anna today (Thursday) but fell ill last nite. Running with very high fever. But my heart is at Ralegan," Arvind Kejriwal wrote on his twitter handle.
However, party leaders Kumar Vishwas, Gopal Rai and Sanjay Singh have left for Ralegan Siddhi.
"Will talk to Anna on phone when they reach there," added Kejriwal.
A party member told IANS that Arvind Kejriwal had "102 degrees fever Wednesday night".
"Though the fever has gone down but he has been advised to take rest, so he had to cancel his visit."
Activist Anna Hazare's indefinite hunger strike entered the third day Thursday.
