New Delhi, Jan 24: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday accused the BJP-led Centre and the Delhi Police of conspiring to “kill” its supremo Arvind Kejriwal and urged the Election Commission (EC) to restore his security cover provided by the Punjab Police that was withdrawn. There was no immediate reaction from the BJP or the Delhi Police to the allegation.
Addressing a press conference here, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi and her Punjab counterpart, Bhagwant Mann, said they have written to the EC demanding “fair grounds” for the AAP in the February 5 Delhi Assembly polls and the restoration of Kejriwal’s security cover given by the Punjab Police, along with an audit of “life-threatening” attacks on him.
They alleged that the Delhi Police, which comes under the Centre, has turned a blind eye on the alleged attacks on Kejriwal in accordance with Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s order.
