Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal was slapped by a man during a road show in the New Delhi constituency on Saturday, prompting the Aam Aadmi Party to allege a BJP hand behind the “cowardly act”. Kejriwal was travelling in an open jeep through the Moti Nagar locality when a man in a red T-shirt jumped onto the vehicle and slapped him before he was pulled away. Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari condemned the incident and said the AAP might have “scripted” it. “I suspect that this incident may have been scripted by Kejriwal himself.”This is the second time Kejriwal has been slapped at a public gathering. Kejriwal was holding the road show in favour of AAP candidate Brijesh Goyal.
