On Thursday, the AAP claimed that the home of Delhi’s Chief Deputy Minister Manish Sisodia was “attacked by BJP thugs.”
The Delhi BJP, however, refuted the allegations, saying their protest was peaceful.
BJP workers previously held a protest near Sisodia’s residence over an alleged conspiracy to assassinate mayors and leaders of party-run municipal corporations who were organizing an indefinite dharna demanding payment of Kejriwal’s government dues.
At a press conference, AAP spokesman Saurabh Bhardwaj alleged that the police did not prevent the thugs from entering Mr. Sisodia’s residence and even removed the barricades around the house.
He also played an alleged video of the outside area of Mr. Sisodia’s residence where a group of people can be seen forcefully entering the interior.
“The BJP thugs attacked the home of the Deputy Chief Minister when he was not at home. The Delhi police assisted the BJP thugs in this act,” added Bhardwaj.
In reaction to the charges, BJP Delhi Vice President Ashok Goel Devraha claimed that AAP leaders were trying to divert attention from the ‘conspiracy’ to kill BJP mayors and other corporate leaders.
“We protested in front of the Sisodia residence to make it clear that BJP workers are capable of responding to any form of challenge,” he said.
The Delhi BJP filed a police complaint against Sisodia and AAP leader Durgesh Pathak on Wednesday alleging they were plotting to kill leaders of party-run municipal corporations.
Pathak had denied the accusation, saying that the BJP has a habit of mixing random audios with random videos to “smear and smear” people’s image.
