Earlier, during his visit twice in Gujarat, pro-Modi mob had raised slogans in front of Kejriwal. Kejriwal and all the leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party are busy campaigning in Gujarat from now on. Elections are to be held in Gujarat in November this year and it is believed that in a few days, the Election Commission will announce the dates for the assembly elections here. Kejriwal is constantly saying in Gujarat that BJP has ruled here for a long time and has not done anything for the state. At the same time, BJP is constantly countering Kejriwal’s allegations with evidence.
This is not the first attack on Arvind Kejriwal. Once during the election campaign, he was slapped by a man on his vehicle. The man was arrested by the police, but Kejriwal had promised to forgive him. Along with Delhi Police, Kejriwal is also given security when he goes to Gujarat.
