Delhi  Health Minister Satyendar Jain's condition is stable, informed Dr JS Passey on Monday.

"After watching his (Satyendar Jain) ketone report, we decided to admit him to hospital. His blood pressure is normal now. He is having some breathing issues, but stable," Dr Passey, LNJP Hospital told ANI. He further said that Jain was stable in the afternoon but his ketone level was high and it was in the evening when he complained of headache, nausea and breathing problems. "Our team of 3 specialists- cardiologist, diabetologist and nephrologist, was checking them (protesting Ministers) morning and evening. Jain was stable in the afternoon but his ketone level was high. In the evening, he complained of headache, nausea, and breathing problems," Dr Passey added.
The Minister was admitted to LNJP Hospital after his health deteriorated during the ongoing 'dharna' at Raj Niwas on late Sunday night.

Jain, along with Kejriwal, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and Cabinet minister Gopal Rai was on a sit-in strike at Raj Niwas, the official residence of Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal since June 11.
The strike was called for to demand a direction to the IAS officers working under the Delhi administration to end their 'undeclared strike', among other demands. 

As the deadlock continues, chief ministers of four-non-BJP ruled states urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene and solve the crisis. Later on Sunday, Kejriwal tried to salvage the situation by sending out an "assurance of safety" to the officers whom he called part of his families.

The political slugfest between parties continued with the AAP upping the ante and organising a massive march to the prime minister's residence. The march was, however, stopped by the police midway.  Revenue Secretary Manisha Saxena, along with Transport Commissioner Varsha Joshi, South Delhi District Magistrate Amjad Tak and Directorate of Information and Publicity Secretary Jaydev Sarangi held a press conference and said that the IAS officers in Delhi were "working with utmost sincerity and dedication".

Earlier in the day, Chief ministers of West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and urged him to intervene for solving the tussle between the L-G and the AAP government in Delhi, terming it a "constitutional crisis . On the sidelines of the NITI Aayog governing council meeting, West Bengal's Mamata Banerjee, Andhra Pradesh's N Chandrababu Naidu, Kerala's Pinarayi Vijayan, and Karnataka's H D Kumaraswamy requested Modi to resolve the crisis so the "federal structure of the Constitution is maintained".
