Graffiti messages threatning Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal surfaced on Rajiv Chowk and Patel Nagar Metro stations of the Blue Line on Monday morning. The messages were reportedly scribed inside the metro coach too in red with a ‘Kejriwal Dilli chod Dijiye otherwise you will have to remember the three slaps you planted before elections’ (Kejriwal, please leave Delhi). Also, some derogatory words were also written below this message in a metro coach.
Speaking on this, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said, First, they didn’t provide insulin to Arvind Kejriwal for 23 days in jail, and now this is happening. Now, Ankit Goyal has written a threat to attack Kejriwal at Patel Nagar and Rajiv Chowk metro stations. The language of this threat is exactly like what the BJP says every day. If Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal gets even a scratch, the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be directly responsible for it.
As the national capital is scheduled to vote on May 25 for the general elections, these threats have led AAP to target the BJP-led central government over this issue. Addressing a press conference, Delhi Minister Atishi Marlena asserted, Despite the high-security environment with 24-hour CCTV surveillance and the presence of police and Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel, the threats were written and left unchecked. “How does someone write threats and leave the metro station despite such tight security?”. She also criticized the Delhi Police’s inaction, contrasting their response to the allegations made by Delhi Commission for Women Chief Swati Maliwal with their current silence.
“Where is the Delhi Police that became super active on Maliwal’s fake allegations now?” Atishi asked, implying a double standard in the enforcement of law and order.
The AAP leader alleged that the threats are part of a broader BJP-led conspiracy following Kejriwal’s release on bail by the Supreme Court. She claimed that Kejriwal’s imprisonment was politically motivated, coinciding suspiciously with the announcement of Lok Sabha elections. “Ever since CM Arvind Kejriwal came out of jail, the BJP and Modi ji have been conspiring to attack him incessantly,” Atishi said.
The allegations extend to suggesting that the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) is directly involved in orchestrating these threats, pointing to the coordinated nature of the incidents and the lack of action by the authorities. “These threats are part of the conspiracy of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji,” she asserted.
