Kejriwal slams BJP for vandalism, says 'Country's largest party indulging in hooliganism'
New Delhi, March 31: After the BJP members allegedly indulged in vandalism outside Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's official residence, the Aam Aadmi Party national convener on Thursday launched a veiled attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and said that the country's largest party is indulging in 'hooliganism.'
"If the country's largest party and ruling party do such hooliganism in the capital, what message will be sent to the youth?" the AAP leader said in his address after he flagged off a fleet of electric autorickshaws from IP depot.
"3,500 people will drive these e-autos. This'll provide employment to 3,500 people out of which 500 are women. It's a matter of immense pride," he continued.
He further said that Electric Vehicle (EV) policy made by the Delhi government is being praised across the country. "Delhi is considered the country's EV capital. People are buying EVs rapidly. 10 per cent of total vehicles purchased by them this year were electric vehicles," he added.

A fleet of electric autorickshaws was flagged off from the IP depot by CM Arvind Kejriwal and state Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot.
Members of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) staged a demonstration outside Kejriwal's home on Link Road near IP College earlier on Wednesday in response to his alleged statements about the film "The Kashmir Files."
In a statement to the Delhi Assembly, Kejriwal accused BJP leaders of promoting the film and demanded the filmmakers upload the film to YouTube.
