Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal was on Tuesday slapped during a road show in Sultanpuri area of Northwest Delhi.

The attacker, identified as Laali, was later thrashed by the AAP supporters and has been admitted in a hospital. He has accused Kejriwal of the betraying auto-drivers.

Kejriwal later tweeted: "I am just thinking - why am I being repeatedly attacked? Who r the masterminds? What do they want? What do they achieve?"

"Is violence an answer to country's problems? Let them tell me place n time. I will come there. Let them beat me as much as they want...but will that solve problems," he further tweeted.

This is the second attack on Kejriwal, who was earlier slapped and punched by an identified person while he was campaigning with party supporters in South Delhi's Dakshinpuri area.

The man was later handed over to the police by AAP volunteers.
