BJP workers obstruct Kejriwal's campaign in Varanasi, AAP demands action

During his last visit here, Kejriwal saw eggs and ink being thrown at him. He has also been target of physical, verbal and ink-assaults at other places including Delhi.

The party, however, appealed to its volunteers and supporters “to peacefully continue their public mobilization and not to get distracted by the nefarious tactics of the BJP and its workers”.

Reacting to last night's incident, Kejriwal this morning said that there was nothing unusual about such protests as he was taking on “biggest vested interests” of the country. Protesters must be some misguided youth with whom I would like to sit and discuss their opposition, he said.

Kejriwal is likely to leave tomorrow for Amethi, where his party colleague Kumar Vishwas is fighting against Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi and BJP's Smriti Irani. He may return to Varanasi on April 22 after which he is likely to file nomination.
