On Saturday, a man was arrested for throwing a liquid on Arvind Kejriwal, the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), during his walk through south Delhi. Kejriwal was greeting people when the man, Ashok Jha, ran up and splashed him with the liquid. Quick-acting security grabbed Jha right away. Kejriwal and his team then had to wipe their faces clean.

Jha works as a bus marshal at Khanpur Depot and lives nearby. The police said they caught him immediately and are investigating why he did it. Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj claimed that Jha wanted to burn Kejriwal. He said Jha had a bottle of spirit (like rubbing alcohol) and a matchbox, but he couldn’t start a fire because of the quick response from others.

After the incident, AAP blamed the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the attack, citing the rise in violence and crime in Delhi. Bharadwaj expressed concern about safety in the city and stated that the government is not doing enough to protect people.

On Saturday, a tense situation occurred in Greater Kailash, Delhi, when a man threw a liquid at former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal during his campaign. A video showed this man trying to reach for Kejriwal, but quick-action security guards stopped him. After the incident, Kejriwal was seen wiping his face.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) quickly blamed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for this attack. Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj spoke out, saying that crime is increasing in Delhi, with violent incidents happening regularly. He mentioned a gym owner being murdered and another person being stabbed nearby, all while claiming that Kejriwal has been continuously targeted.

Bharadwaj said, “If a former chief minister isn’t safe in Delhi, how can regular people feel secure?” He accused the central government and the Home Minister of failing to maintain order in the city.

The man responsible for the attack, who was said to live in the area, was taken to the local police station for questioning. This incident follows another claim by AAP that Kejriwal was attacked during a march in Vikaspuri just last month. AAP chief minister Atishi expressed concern about the BJP’s tactics, suggesting that the party is desperate since they cannot beat AAP in elections.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is criticizing the Congress party for raising doubts about the fairness of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia suggested that Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, should resign from their positions and promise to run for office only if paper ballots are used again. He believes this action would show that Congress truly trusts their claims. Bhatia stated that if the Congress leaders do not do this, then their complaints are just empty talk.

Bhatia also encouraged Congress to take their concerns to court, pointing out that the Supreme Court has already confirmed that the Election Commission is trustworthy and EVMs are reliable.

It was noted that it is ironic for Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge to question the election system on the same day Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, from Congress, was sworn in as the Member of Parliament for Vayanad in Kerala. Bhatia said Congress will soon be just a part of history.

In the recent Maharashtra Assembly elections, the BJP-led coalition won a huge victory with 233 out of 288 seats. The BJP alone took 132 seats, while its partners, the Shiv Sena and NCP, won 57 and 41 seats, respectively. The Congress party made a complaint to the Election Commission, alleging problems in vote counting. However, the Election Commission dismissed these claims and invited Congress representatives to discuss the matter on December 3.

Recently, the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) accused the AAP (Aam Aadmi Party) of extorting money. They shared an audio recording that they claim shows a conversation between an AAP MLA (Member of Legislative Assembly) and a gangster. In the clip, the MLA apparently talks about taking money from people.

The BJP leaders say this conversation reveals corruption in AAP. They urge the police to investigate the matter further. However, the AAP responded by calling the audio fake and said it is just an attempt to damage their reputation.

This controversy has caused a lot of discussions among people in Delhi. Many citizens are worried about corruption in politics and want leaders to act honestly. The situation continues to develop, and both parties are standing firm in their claims.

Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the opposition in India’s Lok Sabha (the lower house of Parliament), expressed strong criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a public meeting in Wayanad. He accused Modi of giving special treatment to billionaire businessman Gautam Adani.

Gandhi emphasized an important point: “In the Lok Sabha, we are fighting for equality and respect. All people should be treated the same, but Prime Minister Modi seems to say that Adani deserves different treatment.” Gandhi mentioned that even when Adani faces serious accusations in the United States, the Indian government is not taking action against him.

The Congress party and other opposition groups are calling for serious action against Adani, who has been accused of wrongdoing by U.S. prosecutors. Gandhi argued that the ruling party has all the power, including control over the media and government agencies, whereas the opposition only has the support and feelings of the people. He believes this support will help them overcome the ruling party’s ideology.

During his speech, Gandhi also introduced his sister, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who has been elected as a new member of Parliament from Wayanad. He shared a moment from the past, saying he remembered taking his oath in the Parliament when she was about to do the same. He said her election was proof of the people’s love and support.
