On Wednesday, AAP state affairs in-charge Manish Sisodia visited him in the hospital. He stayed with him for 20 minutes. “The CM is better now. He may be discharged tomorrow,” he told reporters after meeting him.

Skirting a question on what ailed the CM, Sisodia said, “Only the doctors can say that officially. I could not meet any doctors today. Maybe, he will be discharged tomorrow.”

The Punjab chief minister was discharged from the hospital on February 16 and went to Moga to attend a rally. After addressing the rally, he returned to the hospital as he experienced exhaustion again.
