Reportedly, the man was angry with Kejriwal and was waiting for him. As soon as the Delhi CM came he attacked him. According to DCP (West) Monika Bhardwaj, the 33 years old man deals in spare parts in Kailash Park.
Delhi’s Deputy CM Manish Sisodia took to Twitter and slammed BJP. He alleged Narendra Modi and Amit Shah for carrying attacks on Kejriwal. Sisodia tweeted-
Kya Modi aur Amit Shah ab Kejriwal ki hatya karwana chahte hain? 5 saal saari taaqat lagakar jiska manobal nahi tod sake, chunav mein nahi hara sake ab usey raaste se iss tarah hatana chahte ho kaayaron! Ye Kejriwal hi tumhara kaal hai.
क्या मोदी और अमित शाह अब केजरीवाल की हत्या करवाना चाहते हैं?
5 साल सारी ताक़त लगाकर जिसका मनोबल नहीं तोड़ सके, चुनाव में नहीं हरा सके..अब उसे रास्ते से इस तरह हटाना चाहते हो कायरो!ये केजरीवाल ही तुम्हारा काल है.

This is not the first time Kejriwal has been hit by someone during a roadshow. In 2014 also, the AAP chief was hit by a man while leading a roadshow.
