Brahma Padkar Group claimed responsibility for the act and said that it attacked AAP's office to protest against a 'derogatory' statement made against Brahmin community.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) office in Ahmedabad was on Friday vandalised by members of a little known Brahmin outfit, which has claimed responsibility for the act.
The outfit, Brahma Padkar Group, said it attacked the party office to protest against a "derogatory" statement made against Brahmin community by an AAP member at Una.
Head of Brahma Padkar Group, Amrish Jani said, "AAP party worker from Una, Sangeeta Chadpa, had used derogatory words against Brahmins during her address there. Our demand was that she should be expelled from the party. But since it was not fulfilled, we registered our protest."
AAP meanwhile alleged that the attack was organised by "BJP-sponsored goons", in which plastic chairs, glass cabins, a fan, a fax machine were among the items that were broken.
"Around ten persons entered our office and without any provocation, they started breaking glass cabins of the conference room, chairs, table, fax machine and other items placed there," said party spokesperson Harshil Nayak.
The office is situated on the sixth floor of a multi-storey building located in Navrangpura locality here.
The AAP had started functioning from the office around a month back even as it tries to expand its base in the state in view of the Gujarat Assembly election in 2017.
Nayak said the daylight attack, despite having a police station in the vicinity, indicated that the attackers had the backing of the ruling BJP government.
"BJP goons are behind the attack. They are resorting to their tried and tested tactic of intimidating the opponents into submission through threats and attacks like these," he said.
It is being alleged that Gir-Somnath district president of AAP Sangeeta Chadpa had allegedly used derogatory words against Brahmin community while addressing a gathering after the Una dalit flogging incident of July 11.
AAP has filed a complaint with the police seeking action against those involved in attacking their office.
