Delhi CM Atishi Alleges Kejriwal Attacker: Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi on Sunday alleged that Arvind Kejriwal's car was attacked by "goons of the BJP" during campaigning in the New Delhi Assembly seat.

She also said that the alleged attacker was connected with BJP’s New Delhi candidate Parvesh Verma and that he is involved in the former MP’s election campaign.

"Yesterday in New Delhi, an attack was carried out on Arvind Kejriwal’s car inside the New Delhi Assembly. The attack was perpetrated by BJP goons. Who were the people that attacked Arvind Kejriwal? Upon closer observation, there is one name--'Shanky,' who is a Vice President of the BJP and is often seen putting up posters of Pravesh Verma in his area. Moreover, he is frequently found in the company of Pravesh Verma. During campaigns, Shanky stays closely associated with Pravesh Verma," Atishi said.
