'BJP hatching conspiracy to kill Arvind Kejriwal', alleges Delhi CM Atishi
PTC Web Desk: In a major allegation, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi on Friday said a conspiracy was being hatched by the BJP and the Delhi Police to kill AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal.
Addressing a press conference, Atishi alleged, "...There are two players behind this conspiracy - one is workers of BJP who attack Arvind Kejriwal and pelt stones on him in different parts of Delhi, the second player is Delhi Police that comes under BJP & Amit Shah. With the collusion of BJP and Delhi Police, a conspiracy is being hatched to kill Arvind Kejriwal..."
Counting the number of attacks on former Delhi CM Kejriwal, Atishi accused BJP workers of carrying out those attacks.
The Chief Minister also lashed out at the Delhi Police and accused it of 'inaction' during those attacks, citing their "collusion" with the BJP. She claimed that the AAP itself investigated all attacks and found that in most cases, the attackers were "BJP workers."
Atishi said, "We are continuously watching that there are several attacks on Arvind Kejriwal. On October 24, Kejriwal Ji was attacked in Vikaspuri in front of the Delhi Police. When we tried to investigate through social media, the attacker was identified as a worker of the BJP. As he was a BJP worker and there was a collusion with the Delhi Police, hence they didn't take any action. He was next attacked on November 30 in Malviya Nagar when we went out for a public event. There were attempts to manhandle and assault him."
"The next attack was on January 18 in the New Delhi assembly constituency, stones were pelted on his car. When we went to investigate on social media (not Delhi Police), it was identified that all attackers belonged to the BJP. Again, a collusion of BJP and Delhi Police came in front, as no investigation was done and no action was taken on the attackers. Yesterday, he was attacked on Hari Nagar but Delhi Police didn't stop them. In Kali Bari, where he was going for a campaign in his constituency, BJP workers were brought there were lathis and stones to attack him. Sanjay Singh had to go and stop that attack but Delhi Police didn't come," she added.
Earlier on Friday, AAP filed a complaint with the Election Commission of India (ECI) about the recent attacks on the party chief Arvind Kejriwal during the election campaign, said party sources.
AAP has alleged that Arvind Kejriwal was attacked several times during the election campaigning for the upcoming Assembly polls in Delhi. On Thursday, Kejriwal alleged that some cadres of the opposition candidate entered his public meeting in Hari Nagar and attacked his car.
