New Delhi: The Chief Minister of Delhi Atishi on Monday alleged that the BJP members were “threatening” Aam Aadmi Party workers that if they work for the AAP they will get them “arrested”.

In a post on X Atishi said, “This morning, BJP members threatened two of our workers – Aman Gambhir and Rita Chopra. They said that if they work for the Aam Aadmi Party, they will get arrested by the police. What kind of hooliganism has spread in the country! Now the BJP people are threatening in the name of the police! Amit Shah ji: The people of Delhi will answer this hooliganism on the 5th.”

The national capital will go to the polls on February 5, and the election results will be declared on February 8. Monday marked the last day of campaigning for the Delhi Assembly elections.

Reacting to it, former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal termed it “hooliganism.”

In a post on X, Kejriwal said, “Hooliganism is going on openly.”

Earlier CM Atishi, during her roadshow in the Kalkaji assembly constituency on Monday, emphasised that votes are earned by winning the hearts of people and not by ‘threatening’ them.

Her statement comes in reaction to an anecdote she narrated, “An elderly woman told me that BJP’s ‘goons’ had come, asking her not to vote for ‘Jhaadu’. She told me that she will see what happens when she goes to vote on February 5.”

“Votes are earned by winning the hearts of the people, not by threatening them. The people of Delhi will vote for us on our work,” Atishi said while expressing confidence that AAP would form the government with a huge margin.
