Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor Arvind Kejriwal was on Tuesday slapped by a man during a roadshow in Sultanpuri area of North West Delhi. This was  the second such attack in four days. He immediately held the Bharatiya Janata Party responsible for it. The man identified as Lali, an autorickshaw driver, first garlanded Kejriwal and then slapped him.

AAP leader Manish Sisodia tweeted Kejriwal was injured in his eye. Kejriwal’s spectacles fell on the ground following the attack.

The 38-year-old attacker, a resident of Aman Vihar in Outer Delhi, has accused Kejriwal of not fulfilling promises made to the auto-drivers. He was later detained by the police.

“I do not understand why some people resort to violence for becoming the prime minister. We will fight this battle till the last breath,” Kejriwal said.
