Arvind Kejriwal Attacked During Campaign; AAP Blames BJP Supporters for Chaos

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has accused BJP MP Parvesh Verma of attacking party chief Arvind Kejriwal during his campaign in the New Delhi Assembly constituency. AAP alleged that “goons” of leader Parvesh Verma attacked Kejriwal with bricks and stones while he campaigned for the Delhi Assembly polls.

The AAP sources claimed that the attackers clashed with the local people and caused chaos in the area. According to the eyewitnesses, the local people intervened and managed to chase away the alleged attackers.

AAP posted on X and stated, “Fearing defeat, BJP panicked, got its goons to attack Arvind Kejriwal”

“While BJP candidate Pravesh Verma was campaigning, goons of BJP candidate Pravesh Verma attacked Arvind Kejriwal with bricks and stones and tried to hurt him so that he could not campaign. BJP people, Kejriwal ji is not going to be scared of your cowardly attack, the people of Delhi will give you a befitting reply” the post said.

AAP leaders termed the incident “shameful” and “cowardly,” accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of intimidation tactics ahead of the elections. “Such acts of aggression will not deter us from serving the people of Delhi,” an AAP spokesperson said.

The BJP hasn’t issued a statement on the allegations yet. The police have not released any information regarding the incident or the individuals involved.

Reacting to the allegations, the BJP leader said: “The car of Arvind Kejriwal has gone ahead by crushing the worker of the BJP. The leg of the worker (BJP) has broken and I am going to the Lady Hardinge Medical College to inquire about his health…This is very shameful…”

The political atmosphere in Delhi remains tensed as parties gear up for the upcoming elections, with accusations and counter-accusations escalating on both sides.
