AAP shared a video on their official X handle which purportedly shows a stone being thrown at the Arvind Kejriwal's car.
AAP accused the Bharatiya Janata Party behind the attack and claimed that Kejriwal was attacked by the "people" of BJP candidate Parvesh Verma who was also campaigning at that time.
"Fearing defeat, BJP panicked, got its goons to attack Arvind Kejriwal While BJP candidate Pravesh Verma was campaigning, goons of BJP candidate Pravesh Verma attacked Arvind Kejriwal with bricks and stones and tried to hurt him so that he could not campaign. BJP people, Kejriwal ji is not going to be scared of your cowardly attack, the people of Delhi will give you a befitting reply," AAP wrote on X.
Delhi will go to the polls on February 5 and the counting of votes will take place on February 8.

AAP dominated the 2020 assembly elections by winning 62 out of 70 seats while the BJP got eight seats.
