Stone Pelting Incident Rocks Delhi Assembly Campaign
In a dramatic turn of events, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s car was reportedly pelted with stones during an election campaign rally. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has alleged foul play, claiming the attack was orchestrated by political rivals to intimidate their leader.
According to AAP spokespersons, the incident occurred while Kejriwal was addressing supporters in Delhi’s bustling constituency, where tensions were already running high amid heated election battles. Witnesses claim stones came hurling towards the CM’s convoy, creating chaos among the rally attendees.
AAP Demands Accountability
The AAP wasted no time in calling out their opponents, suggesting the attack was a premeditated act aimed at derailing their campaign momentum. “This is not just an attack on our leader but an attack on democracy itself,” a senior AAP official remarked.
The party has lodged a formal complaint with the Delhi Police, demanding a thorough investigation into the incident. However, opposition parties were quick to dismiss the allegations, labeling them as “political drama” designed to garner sympathy votes.
Opposition Hits Back
Political rivals, including the BJP and Congress, have denied any involvement. “The AAP is known for playing the victim card. If they want to divert attention from their governance failures, they should at least be creative,” a BJP leader quipped.
Meanwhile, Congress leaders chose a more subdued response, urging for peaceful campaigning and condemning any form of violence, irrespective of its origin.
Election Drama Intensifies
As Delhi inches closer to the assembly elections, this incident adds fuel to an already fiery political climate. Kejriwal, known for his combative style, used the incident to rally his supporters further, tweeting: “No amount of attacks can deter us from serving the people of Delhi!”
The Delhi Police, under pressure to act swiftly, has assured the public that they are examining CCTV footage from the area. A senior officer stated, “We will leave no stone unturned—pun unintended—in identifying the culprits.”
