Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers on Tuesday protested outside the residence of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Arun Jaitley and alleged that he is trying to destabilize the AAP-led Delhi Government.

"The BJP is trying to bribe our MLAs. They have stooped so low. They are trying to defame a popular person like Kejriwal," said a protestor.

The security outside Jaitley's Kailash Colony residence was tightened earlier, taking in view the protest.

Security personnel and barricades were placed outside Jaitley's residence.

Meanwhile, the BJP workers launched a counter protest and held a protest march in the same area.

"Kejriwal has only lied to the people. He is taking names of big leaders to get big name for himself," alleged a protestor.

On Monday, the AAP had said the BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and Arun Jaitley were trying to destablise the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP Government in the national capital.
