New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will attend a 10-day Vipassana meditation camp at Igatpuri in Maharashtra with no access to TV and news.

"The CM has left for Igatpuri. He will be attending a 10-day session of Vipassana," a government spokesperson said. Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia will take care of day-to-day government affairs in Kejriwals absence, he said.

In August last year too, Kejriwal had gone to Himachal Pradesh’s Dharamkot to attend a 10-day Vipassana session at a meditation centre. He is known to be an ardent practitioner of the meditation technique. 

After a hectic campaign post the Lok Sabha polls in 2014 and the Delhi Assembly polls in 2013, the AAP chief had taken a break to practice Vipassana. This time, his meditation break comes after the hectic campaign for the Bawana bypolls, where his Aam Aadmi Party registered a win.

Kejriwal had gone to Bengaluru earlier this year to undergo naturopathy treatment for high blood sugar, after months of campaigning for elections in Punjab and Goa.
