A new political controversy has erupted between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) following an alleged attack on AAP leader and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's car during electioneering in the New Delhi Assembly constituency.

The AAP has implicated BJP affiliates in the attack, sharing a video on their official X account which reportedly exhibits a stone being hurled at Kejriwal's vehicle. They assert that the assault was orchestrated by supporters of BJP nominee Parvesh Verma, who was concurrently campaigning.

Conversely, BJP's Verma contends that it was Kejriwal's entourage that endangered BJP members, suggesting the car intentionally hit three youths. As tensions inflate, both parties are exchanging fierce allegations as Delhi races towards its February 5 elections.
