Demanding answers from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, in a disclosure, senior AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh has declared that top members of Bhartiya Janta Yuva Morcha (BJP’s youth wing) orchestrated a fatal attack on AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal during a padyatra in Vikaspuri on Friday.
Citing evidence, the AAP MP identified Rohit Sehrawat, the BJP Yuva Morcha state vice-president, and Arun Drall, the general secretary, as the main culprits. Sanjay Singh pointed out BJP’s growing desperation to undermine Arvind Kejriwal has escalated from electoral setbacks to life-threatening tactics. “If Arvind Kejriwal suffers even a scratch, Delhi’s people will remember and retaliate,” he warned.
Calling out the BJP, senior AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh asserted that the level of hatred, animosity, and violence in the BJP’s politics has hit a point where they seem determined to take Arvind Kejriwal’s life. This is not the first attempt to eliminate the AAP and Arvind Kejriwal’s politics.
Pointing out to BJP’s persistent conspiracies to eliminate Arvind Kejriwal, the senior AAP leader mentioned, “The BJP has used every tactic to harm Arvind Kejriwal, employing agencies like the ED and CBI, filing fake cases, and even imprisoning him. After jailing him, they stopped his insulin. His blood sugar dropped to dangerously low levels, even below 50, multiple times, and attempts were made on his life while he was in jail.”
“After the Supreme Court granted him bail and Arvind Kejriwal was released to work for his party, even resigning from the Chief Minister’s post, the BJP’s hostility continued,” he added.
Posing some pressing questions before the BJP ruled central government, the AAP Rajya Sabha MP stated, “I want to ask India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, how much hatred do you harbor for Arvind Kejriwal? What do you want to achieve? How much harm do you wish to cause him? When will you be satisfied?”
“He resigned from the Chief Minister’s position and is now simply campaigning for his party, reaching out to the people. But you have failed to achieve your goals; for twenty-seven years, you have been losing in Delhi,” he reasoned.
“You’ve lost to Arvind Kejriwal three times, and now you’ve taken the path of eliminating him. Since you can’t defeat him, the plan now is to eliminate him—imprison him, deny him insulin, and do anything possible to get rid of him. If you can’t harm him directly, then send your goons to attack him,” asserted the senior AAP leader.
Declaring it as a cold-blooded conspiracy by the BJP, Sanjay Singh affirmed, “Whatever unfolded in Vikaspuri Padyatra on Friday, and the way police’s collusion has been exposed, I am saying openly that this was a well-planned conspiracy to take Arvind Kejriwal’s life, to play with his life. BJP members are after Arvind Kejriwal’s life, conspiring and attacking him in mobs where anything could have happened.”
Showing the picture of the attackers, the senior AAP leader asked, “Who attacked Arvind Kejriwal? That could easily be identified in the video. One of the attackers, Rohit Sehrawat, is the state vice president of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM). Rohit Sehrawat is pictured with Home Minister Amit Shah, who is the main accused in the attack on Arvind Kejriwal. Another, Arun Drall, is the state general secretary of the BJYM. These people are openly threatening that this hooliganism will not be done only in Vikaspuri but wherever Arvind Kejriwal goes in Delhi, these people will do hooliganism there.”
“After attacking Arvind Kejriwal, the morale of these people has increased so much that these people are openly saying in the video that wherever Arvind Kejriwal goes, there will be attacks on him. And BJP’s Leader of Opposition, Vijender Gupta, is coming in their support. Vijender Gupta is saying that this was an attack by the public,” asserted Sanjay Singh.
The senior AAP leader affirmed that Amit Shah’s police are also involved in the well-planned conspiracy hatched by the BJP to attack Arvind Kejriwal. Citing a video of Delhi Police at the time of the incident on Friday, Sanjay Singh said, “It is clearly visible in the video that the SHO is folding his hands in front of the attackers. This is the Delhi Police, which is responsible for the security of Arvind Kejriwal. This is Narendra Modi and Amit Shah’s police and they are laughing and talking with the attackers. Both Rohit and Arun are present in the video,” he pointed out.
“No amount of condemnation of this reprehensible violent politics of BJP is enough. But now these incidents have become a matter of serious concern. This attack is worrisome. If the National Convenor of a national party, a person who has been the Chief Minister of Delhi thrice, is being attacked by a mob in collusion with the police and Amit Shah, then this is a matter of serious concern. Anything can happen to Arvind Kejriwal,” he asserted.
The AAP MP stated that the BJP is hell-bent on killing Arvind Kejriwal because it has lost the elections thrice. That is why BJP does not see any other way now except to finish off Arvind Kejriwal. But I want to tell BJP, Narendra Modi and Amit Shah very clearly that he is Arvind Kejriwal, he will neither bow down before you nor stop. He will keep fighting for the rights of the people of Delhi.
Admonishing the BJP, Sanjay Singh said that BJP can do as much conspiracy as it wants, but one thing is clear that if Arvind Kejriwal gets even a scratch or anything happens to him, the people of Delhi will take their revenge with interest. In democracy, the people are the masters. If BJP thinks that by attacking, beating and indulging in violence, they will get ahead in electoral politics, then it is their misunderstanding.
“The people of Delhi will take revenge for this. The people of Delhi will definitely take revenge for the way BJP has troubled their son, their son, their brother Arvind Kejriwal. If anything happens to Arvind Kejriwal, the BJP will be directly responsible for it,” he asserted.
On the question of complaining to Delhi Police about the attack on Arvind Kejriwal, Sanjay Singh shared that Delhi Police is laughing and talking with the attackers. The SHO of Delhi Police is standing with folded hands in front of the attackers. If any crime takes place in the presence of police, then the police itself should register an FIR. Amit Shah’s police itself is in cahoots with the attackers. So how will the police take action? The police itself is a part of the conspiracy.
On the question of continuing the party’s campaign after the attack, Sanjay Singh informed, “Our campaign will continue, it will not stop. Arvind Kejriwal’s program will go on regularly. But it is clear that if Vijender Gupta himself is speaking out in support of this attack and hooliganism. The entire BJP is supporting this hooliganism and violence, then BJP is definitely involved behind this.”
On the question of increasing police security of Arvind Kejriwal, Sanjay Singh said that if the police is really impartial, then how did this incident happen? Arvind Kejriwal has been attacked earlier also during elections. At this time when BJP is hell-bent on harming him in any way, then how did this mistake happen? Delhi Police is under Amit Shah.
