New Delhi, June 18 : Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who was on hunger strike since June 13, was shifted to the Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan Hospital here on Monday due to failing health, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said.

"Sisodia being shifted to hospital," Kejriwal tweeted.

Sisodia's ketone level reached 7.4, following which the decision was taken to move him to a hospital, party sources said.

Late on Sunday night, Health Minister Satyendra Jain, who was also on an indefinite hunger since June 12, was shifted to the Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan Hospital due to deteriorating health.

In another tweet on Monday, Kejriwal said that Jain "is doing well".

Jain and Sisodia were camping in the Raj Niwas along with Kejriwal and cabinet colleague Gopal Rai since June 11 protesting against IAS officers on de facto strike and seeking approval to the Delhi government's proposal to supply ration to the poor at their houses.

Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday dismissed a petition filed by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, challenging the Governor's sanction for prosecution in the MUDA case.

A bench led by Justice M. Nagaprasanna upheld the Governor's decision, paving the way for further legal proceedings.

With the petition's rejection, discussions have emerged regarding Siddaramaiah's legal options. The CM's legal team is expected to file an appeal before a division bench of the High Court.

After receiving the single bench's order around 2:30 pm, Siddaramaiah's lawyer could seek an urgent hearing and request an interim stay on the decision.

Alternatively, the CM may approach the Supreme Court. There is also the possibility of filing another petition in the High Court after reviewing the order by the special court of people's representatives.
