AAP alleges deep conspiracy to harm Kejriwal, warns BJP of consequences, vows to continue 'padyatra' campaign in Delhi.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Saturday (October 26, 2024) 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 (October 26, 2024) claimed Mr. 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, Mr. Kejriwal will continue to undertake 'padyatra' campaign as per the schedule.
When asked why the AAP has not filed any complaint in the incident, Mr. 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.
The police can take cognisance of the incident and conduct its probe, he said, adding that the AAP is taking legal opinion for further action in the matter.
The AAP MP alleged that BJP leaders are supporting Mr. Kejriwal's "attackers". BJP leaders have rubbished the AAP's claim, saying he was facing protests by locals over the supply of dirty water to their homes.
