BJP president Manoj Tiwari and his supporters allegedly entered into a scuffle with AAP members and police at inaugural event of the newly-built Signature Bridge, which Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal termed as "unprecedented".
Tiwari and his supporters reached up to the venue in protest that he was not invited to event despite being Member of Parliament from the area.
Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia were not present when the protest took place.
Tiwari also shared a video purpoting Khan pushed him.
Reacting, Tiwari told news agency ANI: “Aam Aadmi Party MLA Amanatullah Khan pushed me (during the inauguration of Delhi's Signature Bridge), the whole incident took place in the presence of Delhi CM. I am going to file an FIR over the incident. Khan's bail should be cancelled immediately.”
Reacting Dilip Pandey of AAP stated: “Thousands of people have come here to celebrate without an invitation card, but the MP (Manoj Tiwari) considers himself VIP. He is doing hooliganism. BJP people thrashed AAP volunteers & local people. They are admitted to hospital.”
Reacting to the incident, Kejriwal tweeted, "Unprecedented. Chaos by BJP at Signature Bridge inauguration site. Its a Del govt prog. Police mute spectator. Can LG, being head of Del police, ensure peace and order at Signature bridge inauguration site?"
BJP, however, said that AAP leader Amantullah Khan used abusive language and pushed Tiwari.
Tiwari had expressed displeasure over not being invited to the inaugural function and took a dig at Kejriwal government saying he will be present at the bridge to welcome the chief minister, who is scheduled to inaugurate the bridge on Sunday.
The bridge will be thrown open for public on Monday.
