'Kejriwal's Car Crushed BJP Worker'

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has responded to allegations from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) regarding the attack on Arvind Kejriwal's car, dismissing the claims as a ploy by Kejriwal to garner sympathy ahead of the upcoming Delhi assembly elections.

The leg of the worker has broken, and I am going to the Lady Hardinge Medical College to inquire about his health. This is very shameful."
