Ambala (Haryana) [India], September 24 : Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from Ambala Cantt assembly constituency, Anil Vij, on Tuesday targeted the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and said that in the name of Lord Hanuman, AAP is trying to mislead the people.
"In the name of Lord Hanuman, AAP is trying to mislead the people. He (Arvind Kejriwal) has just received the bail, case is still there. AAP has taken PhD in misleading people," Vij said.
Earlier today, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi offered prayers at the ancient Hanuman temple in Connaught Place. The newly elected Chief Minister emphasised her wish for the AAP supremo, Arvind Kejriwal, to take over the chief ministerial position once again, post-elections in the national capital.
During her visit, Atishi emphasised the challenges faced by AAP, mentioning ongoing attacks against the party and its leadership.
"Offered prayers at Pracheen Hanuman Mandir and Hanuman ji has been our 'Sankat Mochan'. For the last 2 years, AAP and Arvind Kejriwal were attacked in every way possible. Efforts were made to break up, suppress us and silence us, but Hanuman ji has always protected AAP, Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi and its people. I have asked just one thing from the almighty today, to continue to shower is blessings upon us and may Arvind Kejriwal become the Chief Minister of Delhi again," Atishi said while speaking to ANI.
Aam Aadmi Party leader Atishi assumed charge as Delhi Chief Minister on Monday. Atishi took oath as the Chief Minister of Delhi on September 22 after she was named successor to the post by AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal earlier this week.
In an emotional gesture towards Kejriwal, Atishi placed an empty chair beside her CM chair, saying, "This chair belongs to Arvind Kejriwal. Today I took charge as the CM of Delhi. Today I have the same pain in my heart as Bharat ji had. Just like Bharat ji worked by keeping Lord Shri Ram's sandals, I will take charge as CM for the next four months."
