Police on Sunday raided the AAP office in Ahmedabad, the party said, while claiming that the ruling BJP is “extremely shaken” by the “overwhelming support” it is getting ahead of the Gujarat Assembly polls. Leaders of the Gujarat unit of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said on Twitter that the raid was carried out shortly after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal arrived in Ahmedabad.
Reacting to the development, Kejriwal said the Gujarat police did not find anything in the party office as AAP leaders and workers are “fiercely honest”. The Gujarat Police did not immediately respond to AAP’s claims. “BJP is extremely shaken by the immense support AAP is getting from the people of Gujarat. There is a storm in favor of AAP in Gujarat,” Kejriwal said in a tweet in Hindi. “After Delhi, raids also started in Gujarat. Nothing was found in Delhi, nothing was found in Gujarat too. We are fiercely honest and patriotic,” he added.
The AAP national convener hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after his party’s Gujarat unit leader Isudan Gadhvi said on Twitter that the police had raided the party office and conducted a two-hour search, shortly after Kejriwal arrived in Ahmedabad. “Gujarat police raid Aam Aadmi Party office as soon as Kejriwal reached Ahmedabad. Searched for two hours and left. Nothing found. They said they will come again,” Gadhvi said in a tweet in Hindi.
“The BJP is so frightened by the growing popularity of the Aam Aadmi Party in Gujarat that it is now using force to storm our office,” the AAP’s Gujarat unit said in a tweet. “After Delhi, now they have started conducting raids in Gujarat as well. Be it Delhi or Gujarat, they will not find anything,” it added. The Gujarat Assembly elections are due later this year.
