Delhi Police Detains Women Protesters Outside Arvind Kejriwal’s Residence

Tensions in Delhi politics intensified on Thursday as women activists from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) staged a protest outside the residence of former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The demonstration, driven by ongoing political friction between the BJP and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), ended with police action as several protesters were detained by Delhi Police.

Escalating Political Rivalry Ahead of Elections

The protest comes amid a heated pre-election atmosphere in Delhi, with both AAP and BJP exchanging sharp allegations. Over the past few days, Arvind Kejriwal has repeatedly accused the BJP of misconduct in various press conferences. In response, BJP women activists decided to surround Kejriwal’s residence, escalating the conflict to a direct confrontation.

Police Intervention

As the protest gained momentum, Delhi Police intervened to manage the situation, detaining several women activists who were part of the demonstration. While the exact number of detainees remains unclear, the action highlights the rising political tensions in the capital.

Atishi’s Allegations Against BJP Leader

Adding fuel to the fire, AAP leader and Delhi’s current Chief Minister Atishi accused former BJP MP Parvesh Verma of distributing ₹1,000 cash to women as part of election manipulation. She called for immediate raids by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and Delhi Police on Verma’s residence, alleging that large sums of cash were hidden there.

Atishi’s remarks have further deepened the rift between the two parties, with both sides gearing up for an intense electoral battle.

What Lies Ahead?

The confrontation outside Kejriwal’s residence and the allegations of financial irregularities are just the latest episodes in the escalating political drama in Delhi. As elections approach, the rivalry between AAP and BJP is expected to intensify, with both parties leaving no stone unturned in their bid for power.
