AAP spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar accused the BJP of stooping to unheard of lows in politics.

Would a customary person throw a substance at a former Chief Minister the complete way through a padyatra? This individual is clearly receiving improve and protection from the BJP,” Kakkar claimed.

AAP Punjab Chief Aman Arora condemned the incident, calling it a cowardly act.

“This cowardly attack on Arvind Kejriwal ji is yet the other attempt by the BJP to silence his voice, which has always stood for the people. Highly condemnable. Such dirty acts will simplest give a boost to the unravel of Delhi’s people to improve the Aam Aadmi Birthday celebration,” he said.

AAP Punjab spokesperson Neel Garg described the incident as “shocking” and “shameful”.

“Any other attack on Arvind Kejriwal Ji in Greater Kailash at present time underscores the complete failure of Home Minister Amit Shah.

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi claimed the attacker changed right into a BJP worker.

“In broad daytime, a BJP worker attacked Arvind Kejriwal ji. The BJP is nervous about losing the Delhi elections for the 1/3 consecutive time. Delhi’s people will now no longer tolerate such tactics. Last time, the BJP won eight seats; this time, they’ll get none,” Atishi declared.

In contrast, Congress leader Mumtaz Patel suggested that the incident could have been orchestrated by AAP themselves to stay inside the spotlight.
