Savera R Someshwar reports from Varanasi: The intensive campaign in Varanasi has taken a toll on AAP contestant Arvind Kejriwal's health. Dr Abhishek Chandra, Kejriwal's family doctor, has been called in from Kaushambi to check on his health.

"He is suffering from a respiratory tract infection, sore throat and infection since 2-3 days. But he is better now,' said the doctor who had dropped in for an early morning visit at the Durgakund apartment where Kejriwal is staying.

Kejriwal's scheduled programme for the morning has been cancelled, and according to an AAP volunteer who is staying with him, the former Delhi chief minister will not be stepping out for the next few hours. He will be resting between a few meetings that will include close associate Manish Sisodia.
