The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Saturday alleged a “deep conspiracy” to eliminate its convener Arvind Kejriwal and warned that the BJP will be responsible if anything happens to him. AAP leaders on Friday claimed Kejriwal was attacked by “BJP goons” during his ‘padyatra’ campaign in west Delhi’s Vikaspuri.
In a press conference, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh charged, “Police complicity in the incident clearly shows a deep conspiracy to kill Kejriwal. The BJP has become an enemy of his life.”
No immediate reaction was available from the police or the BJP over Singh’s allegations. The AAP leader, however, said that despite the Vikaspuri incident, Kejriwal will continue to undertake ‘padyatra’ campaign as per the schedule.
When asked why the AAP has not filed any complaint in the incident, Singh said that the incident wouldn’t have happened if the police were “impartial” and its officers did not do anything to stop the group of attackers who, he said, belonged to the BJP’s youth wing.
Echoing similar sentiments, Delhi cabinet minister Saurabh Bharadwaj, in another press conference said, “BJP Yuva Morcha functionaries attacked Kejriwal. One of the attackers is the vice president of BJP Yuva Morcha of Delhi and the second attacker is the general secretary of BJP Yuva Morcha, Delhi.”
