AAP claims Arvind Kejriwal's car attacked by ‘BJP goons’ during Delhi election campaign; Parvesh Verma hits back
As Delhi poll heats up, AAP accuses BJP supporters of attacking Arvind Kejriwal's car, while Parvesh Verma counters with claims of Kejriwal hitting 2 persons.
Arvind Kejriwal attacked news: The Aam Aadmi Party alleged that Arvind Kejriwal's vehicle was attacked by “Bharatiya Janata Party goons” during his election campaign in the New Delhi constituency on Saturday.
The ruling party claimed Pravesh Verma's supporters attacked Arvind Kejriwal with bricks and stones while he was campaigning, but the BJP leader rejected the allegation.
“Fearing defeat, BJP panicked, got its goons to attack Arvind Kejriwal. BJP candidate Pravesh Verma's goons attacked Arvind Kejriwal with bricks and 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,” the AAP wrote in Hindi and posted a video clip of the incident.
Parvesh Verma countered the AAP's allegation, claiming that it was Arvind Kejriwal's vehicle which hit two youngsters.
“When the people were asking questions, @ArvindKejriwal hit two youngsters with his car. Both were taken to Lady Harding Hospital. Seeing defeat in front, he forgot the value of people's lives. I am going to the hospital,” Parvesh Verma posted on X.
After reaching the hospital, Parvesh Verma told reporters, "They are injured and are being treated. All the allegations of Arvind Kejriwal are baseless... All three injured are residents of this assembly constituency, and they were hit by the car of Arvind Kejriwal. Arvind Kejriwal is afraid of his defeat..."
In the video shared by the AAP, some people are seen waving black flags near Arvind Kejriwal's convoy.
Parvesh Verma is in the electoral fray against former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and Sandeep Dikshit of the Congress in the New Delhi assembly constituency. Both have filed their nominations and exuded confidence in the victory of their parties.
