The AAP accused the BJP of sponsoring threatening AAP convener and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal through graffiti that were found scribbled inside metro trains in Delhi while the BJP hit back at the AAP and asked the police and Election Commission to double the security of Kejriwal, alleging he and his party can orchestrate an attack on him to gain public sympathy ahead of May 25 Lok Sabha polls in the city.   Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva described Sanjay Singh's statement, in regards to the threats received by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, as a film script and said that by May 25, when the polling is slated in the national capital, AAP chief will have his leaders write different scripts so that public sympathy can be garnered. Accusing the AAP convenor of being silent on AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal, Sachdeva said, “Kejriwal, who refused to say a word about Swati Maliwal's incident, has now started commissioning new scripts based on his gestures, the first episode of which was seen today.” Earlier, addressing a press conference, senior AAP leader and Delhi Minister Atishi alleged, “The BJP is rattled by the fact that it is going to lose all seven seats in Delhi, that is why it has been targeting Kejriwal by "hatching different conspiracies. They got him arrested on March 21 and then when he was lodged inside Tihar jail, they stopped his insulin for 15 days and we had to approach the court. After he came out, they used Swati Maliwal to target him but that conspiracy also did not pay off since the videos revealed that the assault allegations were false."

AAP has also sought time from the EC for a meeting on the issue and has sent a request for a representation in email.

Adding that there is a danger to Kejriwal’s life, she claimed, "The images of the graffiti have also been uploaded on social media. These stations are under CCTVs and security personnel are posted round-the-clock. Why are the police not acting on it? Where is the Cyber Cell? This shows that this is being orchestrated by the BJP."

Further, senior AAP leader and Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj said the party has emailed a representation to EC seeking time to discuss the issue. "Arvind Kejriwal has been publicly threatened. The person has written threats inside the coaches of metro stations. The accused has also shared it on social media handles. There is CCTV coverage inside metro stations. It is a cause of worry that the chief minister has been threatened but no action has been taken by Delhi Police and metro. If there is any complaint made against AAP police indulges in negative publicity. There have been attacks on Kejriwal earlier but nothing is known what action was taken in them," Bharadwaj said, adding that it is clear that PMO is after Kejriwal.

In a letter to EC, AAP MLAs demanding very serious and stern action including the arrest of the accused. The current complaint is regarding the social media posts from an Instagram Handle Ankit. Goel_91 who has seemingly defaced the Delhi Metro Coach with a clear message to threaten the life of Arvind Kejriwal. He has also posted pictures of similar threat messages being scribbled on the Patel Nagar Metro Station. The threat messages also contain abusive language against the Chief Minister of Delhi.”

“In the past also, there have been attempts to physically assault the Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal,” it said.
