However, a health checkup done on the minister revealed that her blood pressure and sugar level dropped drastically, said AAP in a press release.
According to the press release, her weight has also dropped. Compared to the first day of the fast, on the third day, the blood sugar level of the Delhi Water Minister has dropped by 26 units. Also, her diastolic (lower) blood pressure has also reached 56 mmHg.
