Arvind Kejriwal Blames BJP For Red Fort Violence, Says Farmers Can Be Anything But Anti-Nationals

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday blamed the Bharatiya Janata Party for the violence at the Red Fort during the farmers’ massive tractor rally on Republic Day.

Kejriwal was speaking at a “kisan mahapanchayat” or farmers’ conclave in Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut city. Several leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party also attended the event. More than 5,000 people were at the conclave, The Indian Express reported.

Kejriwal said: “They orchestrated the incident at the Red Fort. Those who hoisted the flag at Red Fort were BJP workers.” The Delhi chief minister alleged that the protestors, unfamiliar with the roads of Delhi, were intentionally shown the wrong path.
