NEW DELHI, 2 FEB  

AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the BJP, accusing it of resorting to "hooliganism" as the Delhi Assembly elections near.

Addressing a press conference, Kejriwal claimed that AAP is heading towards a "decisive win" in 5 February polls, which has left BJP leaders, particularly 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 threatening and assaulting 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, adding that Delhi will not tolerate such "intimidation tactics".

In response to the alleged threats, Kejriwal announced the launch of a new social media campaign with the hashtag 'AmitShahKiGoondagardi' on X.

He urged people to share their experiences of being "attacked, threatened, or intimidated" using the hashtag.

Kejriwal also alleged a "big conspiracy" to disenfranchise slum dwellers and economically weaker sections.

In a video message, Kejriwal claimed that he had received multiple calls from residents of servant quarters, dhobi ghats, and slum clusters, reporting that individuals ”"linked to a rival party" offering Rs 3,000 to voters.

Without naming any specific party, Kejriwal emphasised the risk of legal trouble for those who unknowingly get involved in such activities.
