LG office denied me access to medicines: Pregnant AAP MLA

New Delhi, Aug 31 (PTI) Sarita Singh, one of the AAP MLAs who camped for hours at the Raj Niwas yesterday, has accused Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijals office of not allowing her access to medicine and food, despite she being in the seventh month of pregnancy.
Refuting the charge, an official at the LG office said the MLA did not inform the Raj Niwas staff that she needed medicine or food.
He added that another woman AAP MLA had also left the LG office after feeling unwell.
They left the Raj Niwas after six-and-a-half hours with an assurance that the LG would hold a meeting with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the officers concerned today.
"Your officers said this was being done on the orders of the LG that we should not be given anything.
We made repeated requests for drinking water and tea and yet we were not given anything to eat," the MLA wrote in the letter to Baijal.
The official at the LG office said an appointment was granted to four AAP MLAs yesterday and Singhs name did not figure in that list.
Sarita Singh should also have done the same.
"After 6 pm, the office is closed.
However, had she asked for something, our staff would definitely have made arrangements," he added.
