Delhi never seen such poll campaign where ‘murderous attack’ attempted on ex-CM: Kejriwal 

A day after an alleged attack on his vehicle during election canvassing, AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday said his life was dedicated to the country, but asserted that Delhi had never witnessed such campaigning where a "murderous attack" was attempted on a former chief minister.

The AAP has alleged that New Delhi BJP candidate Parvesh Verma's "goons" attacked Kejriwal during campaigning in the constituency on Saturday.

"The people of Delhi have never witnessed such campaigning and violence in which a murderous attack was attempted on a former chief minister. This is their way of campaigning because they are badly losing," Kejriwal said, targeting the BJP.

He also laughed off Verma's claim that Kejriwal would lose the New Delhi seat by 20,000 votes. "Let him live in dreams for a few days," he told the media.

Kejriwal said he had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi about a housing scheme for government employees, proposing the Delhi government would build houses if the Centre provided land.

He said the scheme could be started with sanitation workers as beneficiaries and later other government employees could be provided houses on easy terms.
