NEW DELHI:
AAP
national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday launched a strong attack on the BJP, accusing it of resorting to "
hooliganism
" as the Delhi Assembly elections draw closer.
During a press conference, Kejriwal stated that AAP is poised for a "decisive win" in the
February 5 polls
, a scenario that, according to him, has left BJP leaders, especially Union Home Minister Amit Shah, "baffled and desperate."
"AAP is sweeping the polls, and Amit Shah is baffled.
The BJP has resorted to hooliganism because they can sense defeat," Kejriwal alleged.
He also accused BJP workers of using threats and violence against AAP volunteers and supporters.
"Our leaders and supporters are being threatened to join the BJP or face arrest and attacks. But we cannot be scared," he said, asserting that Delhi would not accept such "
intimidation tactics
."
To counter these alleged threats, Kejriwal announced a social media campaign with the hashtag 'AmitShahKiGoondagardi' on X, urging people to share their experiences of being "attacked, threatened, or intimidated."
He went on to criticize the BJP’s approach to the elections.
"The BJP has no vision for Delhi – no chief ministerial candidate, no development agenda. All they have is hooliganism. They want to win through fear, not votes," he claimed, calling on Delhiites to stand together to protect democracy in the city.
The high-stakes Delhi Assembly elections will take place on February 5, with results to be declared on February 8. While AAP is seeking a third consecutive term, the BJP is working to reclaim power in the national capital after more than 25 years.
