High drama was witnessed today at Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal's press conference when a man, claiming to be Anna Hazare supporter and BJP activist from Maharashtra, threw black paint on him and other party members present there.

Nachiketa Vaghrekar claimed he revers Anna as his guru and accused Kejriwal of "betraying Hazare and betraying people".

He entered the press conference venue and threw a can of black paint on Kejriwal and his colleagues Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, lawyers Prashant Bhushan and Shanti Bhushan while shouting 'Anna Hazare Zindabad'.

A small quantity of paint fell on Kejriwal's face while it also fell on Sisodia, Prashant Bhushan and Sanjay Singh.
 

AAP activists present there immediately pulled Vaghrekar, who claimed to be the General Secretary of BJP's Ahmednagar unit, out of the conference hall.

Kejriwal, without naming any party, said "it was done by those whose vested interests were being hit due to AAP's growing popularity."

He claimed the position of both BJP and Congress was bad in Delhi assembly elections.
