CM Arvind Kejriwal slams BJP over UP death, Manoj hits back

New Delhi: Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday hit out at the BJP over the killing of an executive of a private company in Uttar Pradesh, claiming “the BJP does not protect the interests of Hindus”.

The AAP chief in a tweet also said that he spoke over phone to the wife of Vivek Tiwari (38), who was allegedly shot dead on Saturday by a constable in Lucknow, when he did not stop his car for checking.

“Spoke to his wife on phone,” Mr Kejriwal tweeted.

In a series of tweets, in Hindi and English, the AAP leader slammed the saffron party over the incident.

“Vivek Tiwari was a Hindu, right? Then why was he killed? BJP leaders rape Hindu girls across the country? See it clear. BJP is not well-wisher of Hindus. If they have to murder Hindus for power, they won’t think twice,” he alleged in his tweet in Hindi.

He also responded to some of the question raised by Twitter users in connection with the incident, like whether there will be a proper investigation in the case.

“No. Even though Vivek Tiwari was a Hindu. The BJP does not protect the interests of Hindus,” he replied in response to a tweet.

Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari slammed Mr Kejriwal on his tweet, saying AAP volunteers should note their leader’s “low mentality”.
