AAP says Arvind Kejriwal’s car attacked, BJP claims vehicle hit 2 people

AAP alleged that Arvind Kejriwal's convoy was attacked during his door-to-door campaign in the New Delhi Assembly constituency. The BJP, in turn, claimed that AAP chief's car hit two people.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Saturday alleged that Arvind Kejriwal’s convoy was attacked during his door-to-door campaign in the New Delhi Assembly constituency for the upcoming polls. AAP accused the BJP of trying to disrupt AAP campaign by throwing a stone at Kejriwal’s car during the campaign. BJP MP Parvesh Verma, in turn, accused Kejriwal’s car of running over two people during the campaign.

AAP released a video showing the incident, claiming that a stone can be seen landing on Kejriwal’s vehicle.

“BJP candidate Pravesh Verma’s goons attacked Arvind Kejriwal with stones while he was campaigning 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,” AAP said in a post on X with a video.

The video also shows individuals waving black flags near the convoy, which AAP claims were part of a deliberate attempt to disrupt the campaign.

AAP leader Manish Sisodia also reacted to the alleged attack on Arvind Kejriwal, accusing the BJP of sending goons to target the AAP chief.

He said, “The Bharatiya Janata Party is a party of panicked cowards! If you don’t have the courage to counter Arvind Kejriwal’s work, you resort to sending your goons to attack him. There can be no cheaper or lower-level politics than what the BJP is doing. The BJP should understand that the public will now give you a befitting reply for this act of cowardice.”

Minutes after AAP’s claims, BJP MP Parvesh Verma shared a video alleging that Arvind Kejriwal’s convoy ran over two people during the campaign in the New Delhi constituency.

“When the people were asking questions, Arvind Kejriwal hit two youngsters with his car. Both were taken to Lady Hardinge Hospital. Seeing defeat in front, he forgot the value of people’s lives. I am going to the hospital,” the BJP candidate from New Delhi Parvesh Verma wrote on X.

Meanwhile, sources in the Delhi Police have refuted AAP’s claims, saying that “no attack took place”. According to the sources, “Arvind Kejriwal was holding a public meeting at Lal Bahadur Sadan when some BJP workers arrived, wanting to ask questions. This led to slogan-shouting from both sides. The police intervened and dispersed people from both groups to control the situation.”

The New Delhi Assembly constituency is a high-stakes battleground in the Delhi Assembly elections scheduled for February 5.

Former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is contesting from the New Delhi constituency, while Congress has nominated Sandeep Dikshit, son of the late Sheila Dikshit, and the BJP has fielded Parvesh Verma, a former MP from West Delhi and son of former Chief Minister Sahib Singh Verma from the seat.
