New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has claimed that the sudden spurt in the growing attacks from the Bharatiya Janta Party on Arvind Kejriwal at Varanasi is a clear reflection of the frustration in the Narendra Modi camp.
In a press release, the AAP said that in less than 12 hours, BJP workers under guidance from their state and national leadership had twice attempted to disrupt Kejriwal's campaign in Varanasi. It alleges that in full public view, the AAP leaders have been pushed, abused and shown obscene gestures by BJP workers.
Here is the full text of the press release by the AAP:
After Thursday night's condemnable incident, the BJP workers on Friday morning once again tried to disrupt Kejriwal's padyatra in the city by raising slogans, using unparliamentary language and showing obscene gestures in presence of the residents. The BJP is now showing its true colours and attempts by its workers to prevent Kejriwal from campaigning reflects the true ideology of the saffron party, which is based on intolerance and fascism.
It is shocking that the BJP, which was claiming a Modi wave in Varanasi, stands exposed, since the people are witnessing cheap politics being practiced by BJP which is all about abuses, obscenity, stones, sticks and eggs.
The BJP's emphasis on trying to scare its political rival by using violent and cheap tactics is putting the basic principle of parliamentary democracy under threat. Instead of debating issues concerning the people, the BJP appears to have decided to take the route of imposing its undemocratic views on the people.
The party which was claiming a wave is now resorting to muscle power to brow beat its rivals, but the BJP has forgotten that the AAP cannot be cowed down by its strong arm tactics and the AAP will oppose all the BJP maneuvers' strongly with the support of the people.
Despite the BJP attempts, the AAP is determined to take its issues to the people and will continue to expose the BJP's intolerant politics.
