Saurabh Bhardwaj remembers attacks on Kejriwal

Former Delhi government minister Saurabh Bhardwaj attacked the BJP condemning the incident. He said that whenever there were attacks on Arvind Kejriwal, the BJP tried to justify him. “Kejriwal was attacked by BJP’s staunch supporter during this election too. At that time the BJP said that he was a civil defense volunteer and angry with Kejriwal. Whenever there were attacks on Kejriwal, BJP said that people are angry. But we will not say that. Like the BJP did it after the attack on Kejriwal. “
