At the same time, Aam Aadmi Party’s Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha has condemned the attack on Kejriwal and called it a cowardly act. Raghav said that Arvind Kejriwal has the blessings of crores of people, no one can do any harm to him. Such incidents have happened with Kejriwal before also. Just three days ago someone had thrown a slipper at Kejriwal’s car. Kejriwal was going to meet the family of the victim of extortion firing in Nangloi. Earlier in 2016, during a program at Chhatrasal Stadium in Delhi, a girl named Bhavana Arora had thrown ink on Arvind Kejriwal.

On the other hand, BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa countered the allegations of AAP leaders and said that Arvind Kejriwal’s drama starts as soon as the elections come. Kejriwal sometimes gets ink thrown on himself and sometimes gets slapped on his face and for this he will hold BJP responsible. Today he was roaming without permission when a bus marshal threw dirty water on him and is calling it a conspiracy of BJP, this gimmick will not work.
