Arvind Kejriwal accuses BJP of ‘attacking’ him

Addressing a press conference, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said, “The complicity of the police in the incident (in Vikaspuri) clearly shows a deep-rooted conspiracy to kill Kejriwal. The BJP has become the enemy of his life.”

However, the AAP leader said that despite the Vikaspuri incident, Kejriwal will continue to perform ‘padyatra’ as per schedule.

When asked why AAP did not file a complaint regarding the alleged attack on Kejriwal, Singh said the incident would not have happened if the police had been impartial.
