Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) demands Manoj Tiwari’s arrest

New Delhi: A day after a ruckus at the inauguration of Signature Bridge, the AAP on Monday called the incident a “pre-planned conspiracy” and demanded intervention of Home Minister Rajnath Singh. “BJP MP Manoj Tiwari and his goons damaged Delhi government property, threw water bottles at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and resorted to violence at the programme.

He should be arrested for this and Rajnath Singh, being the Home Minister, should intervene,” Delhi’s north-eastern Lok Sabha in-charge Dilip Pandey said. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader said that the BJP is frustrated and is afraid of defeat in Delhi.

“First, they deleted lakhs of voters’ names from the electoral list out of frustration. Now, they disrupted the inauguration by creating a ruckus, chanting Modi’s name?” Pandey said. He said it was the BJP that started the “tradition” of not inviting Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to major programmes such as the inauguration of Delhi Metro line and ITO skywalk. Tiwari, also a Lok Sabha member, got into a scuffle with AAP workers before the function started at the bridge, leading to violence. (IANS)
