New Delhi, Jan 18: The AAP on Saturday alleged that party chief Arvind Kejriwal's car was attacked by BJP supporters during campaigning in the New Delhi constituency. "Supporters of BJP's New Delhi candidate Parvesh Verma attacked Kejriwal during campaigning in the constituency," an AAP leader said.
Denying the AAP's charges, the BJP claimed that some party workers were attacked by AAP volunteers. Verma was heading to Lady Hardinge hospital to meet injured party workers, BJP leaders said.
