AAP leader and former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal Tuesday said the recurring attacks on him were "scripted" and there was a threat to his life.
But he insisted that he will not accept any security.
"These attacks are scripted. When they (attackers) are arrested, they repeat the (same) script," Kejriwal told the media after he was slapped Tuesday while campaigning in the capital.
"Why are all the attacks taking place only on us?" he said, adding that the emergence of the Aam Aadmi Party had spoiled the "setting" between the various political parties.
"There will be more attacks, and we can also get killed," said Kejriwal, who was chief minister of Delhi for 49 days until Feb 14 at the head of a minority government.
He added: "I don't want security. As long as god wants me to live, no one can harm me. The day god feels my time is over, I will die, no one can stop that."
