Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday claimed the BJP has launched a campaign - "Operation Jhaadu" - to crush the Aam Aadmi Party as the saffron party sees the AAP as a challenge. Addressing party workers ahead of the AAP's proposed protest march, he said there will be bigger challenges ahead and asked the cadre to be prepared to face them.
"PM Narendra Modi is worried about the rise of the AAP. The party has risen too fast. They have started âOperation Jhaadu' to crush the party. In the coming time, our bank accounts will be frozen and we will be brought on the road since our office will also be taken away," he said. "There will be bigger challenges ahead. Please be ready to face them. Remember one thing we faced many challenges in the past. We have the blessings of Lord Hanuman and God. We would have not survived these. Walk on the path of truth. We want to work for the society," he told them.
Security beefed at BJP headquarters
The Delhi Police has beefed up security in and around the BJP headquarters here in view of a protest announced by AAP. The traffic police has also issued an advisory. "In view of the proposed protest by a political party at DDU Marg Delhi, Traffic will remain heavy at DDU Marg, IP Marg, Minto Road and Vikas Marg. DDU marg may be closed for traffic movement between 11 am to 2 pm. Kindly avoid these roads and plan your journey accordingly," the traffic police in a post on X.
