"Amit Shah has made the Delhi Police a personal army of the BJP," Kejriwal claimed.

He further said, "Big questions are being raised on the Election Commission that the national president of a national party and its leaders are being constantly attacked and the Election Commission is unable to take any effective action."

AAP and BJP leaders have sparred over similar allegations of attack during campaigning for upcoming Delhi Assembly polls on the car levelled by Kejriwal on a couple of occasions in the recent past.
