AAP blames police, media for chaos during Kejriwal's visit

Alleging misreporting on the issue of damage to scanners at Churchgate, the party said that “defunct scanners fell due to the media frenzy and surging supporters...

They were down for a few minutes and immediately put back in place by our volunteers and no damage was caused”.

”AAP is really curious as to what levies will Home Minister (R.R. Patil) extract from the AAP for a momentary collapse of defunct scanners when he has failed to extract any levy from parties which burn and damage public property on a routine basis,” the party said.

”We state that whatever little disturbances that were caused during Kejriwal's visit, were due to poor handling of law and order, of the overzealous media, who risked public safety in their quest for visuals,” it added.
