Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Sunday alleged that the BJP was responsible for the attack on him during a roadshow and claimed he was targeted because he had been lately questioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "relationship" with Pakistan.
The AAP supremo, during a press conference held at the party headquarters, said this was not only an attack on him but also an assault on the people of Delhi and the mandate they had given.
The BJP rubbished the claim as Kejriwal's "propaganda".
Kejriwal said, "This is the ninth attack on me and fifth one since I took charge as the chief minister of Delhi. And, for any attack on me in the future, the BJP will be responsible."
AAP spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj, who was also present during the press conference, said, "We have investigated from our end, and he is not from our party, as claimed by police."
Kejriwal also attacked Modi over handling of the Pathankot terror attack issue, saying, "Pakistan's ISI was invited to the air base, and then Modiji claims as if only in his tenure surgical strikes took place."
Former Delhi chief minister and Congress's candidate from North-East Delhi Sheila Dikshit condemned the attack and said, "Such attacks should not happen no matter who is the leader."
