In a video statement, BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor reaffirmed the party’s strict stance against violence, emphasizing that the BJP does not support or condone such acts under any circumstances.
He noted that electoral campaigns across the country involve leaders operating under varying levels of security, yet incidents like these seem to occur exclusively with Kejriwal during elections.
Kapoor termed the incident “bizarre,” highlighting that such events appear to have become a recurring pattern for Kejriwal, recalling past controversies like the “slap incident.”
He suggested that these spectacles might be attempts to garner attention or sympathy.
The BJP has reiterated its condemnation of all forms of violent protests, with Kapoor pointing out that the people of Delhi are questioning why such incidents consistently happen to the former Chief Minister during election periods.
