The BJP on Monday alleged that its Delhi unit chief Vijay Goel and Treasurer Ashok Goel were attacked in Model Town. “The Delhi BJP condemned an attack in Model Town on its party president Vijay Goel and BJP candidate from the same constituency Ashok Goel, who is also the Delhi BJP’s Treasurer,” a statement issued by the party said. In the statement, Goel said that the BJP had already informed the Election Commission about the sensitivity of certain polling booths in this constituency and despite that this attack happened.
“This kind of violence is condemnable and it will not deter BJP in any way,” Goel said. In addition to a complaint filed to the Election Commission regarding the attack, the party has also demanded that an FIR should be immediately registered. “In the complaint filed with the EC, Ashok Goel informed that the attack took place at Gur Mandi, Rajpura. When the two went to campaign there, one Dinesh Kumar and Kehar Singh along with some other people abused, threatened and then attacked with hockey sticks and iron rods” the statement said. Meanwhile, Delhi Police denied the allegations of the BJP’s Model Town candidate. They said no such fracas took place.
