Atishi briefs media on attack on Kejriwal
Addressing a press conference, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi said the people of Delhi have seen how low the BJP's dirty politics can stoop to. "Arvind Kejriwal was attacked by BJP goons during his Vikaspuri padyatra. The BJP knows that it cannot defeat AAP and Arvind Kejriwal in elections, that is why they have resorted to such dirty politics and want to kill Arvind Kejriwal," she said.
Saurabh Bhardwaj further said, "Arvind Kejriwal was holding a 'padyatra' in Vikaspuri area and meeting people there... I think the BJP is not able to digest the love and blessings that Arvind Kejriwal is getting from people. Today, people associated with the BJP have tried to attack Arvind Kejriwal. Earlier too, attempts have been made to hurt Arvind Kejriwal. When he was in jail, his insulin was stopped, attempts were made for his death."
Delhi BJP denies claim
Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva denied the claim and said there has been no attack on Arvind Kejriwal anywhere as this is public opposition which is gradually increasing since the election campaign started.
Saying that Arvind Kejriwal, Aam Aadmi Party and his MLAs are surrounded by massive anti-incumbency, Virendra Sachdeva said along with the poor condition of the city, Delhiites, troubled by the corruption of "AAP" MLAs and councillors, are now protesting against Arvind Kejriwal by taking to the streets.
Delhi Police denies claim
However, Delhi Police denied the claim and said there has been no attack on former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and nothing has been thrown at him and no manhandling has taken place.
