Rajiv Bajaj's remedy for Arvind Kejriwal's chronic throat

Even with news that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's cough has been brought under control since his current sojourn at the Jindal Naturecare Institute near Bengaluru, ETPanache discovered that the AAP chief 's throat woes were offered a remedy from none other than Rajiv Bajaj. The managing director of Bajaj Auto suggested a homeopathic cure to Kejriwal's cough last winter, recommending Dr Rajan Sankaran to the constant ly canvassing leader.

"When he was quite unwell last winter, Dr Rajan Sankaran, generally considered the best homoeopath in the world today, graciously made a day trip to Delhi to see Arvind," Bajaj recounted last month, "I believe that within days Arvind was 70 per cent better."

The AAP chief has been holed up recently at Jindal Naturecare, cut off from the high drama surrounding the party's slugfest and factionalism. Word is that Kejriwal, on a steady diet of yoga and naturopathy, is feeling much better. Yoga is a shared passion for both Bajaj and Kejriwal. "A natural resonance with yoga and homoeopathy tel ls me a lot about a person," says Bajaj.

As AAP battles infighting and Kejriwal's cough continues to be a matter of concern — and comic material on social media — it is time perhaps for others to pitch in with more than just homeopathic advice to the Delhi Chief Minister.
