The Chief Secretary alleged that he was assaulted by AAP MLAs
BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra on Tuesday hit out at the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party after the Chief Secretary of New Delhi was assaulted, allegedly on the directions of Kejriwal at the CM's residence by party workers.
"BJP condemns this incident. A constitutional crisis looms over Delhi. First time we saw a Chief Secy being assaulted on the directions of a CM. AAP & anarchy have become synonymous. It has no relations with Constitutio," Patra asked.
The BJP spokesperson went on to ask whether Kejriwal had any right to remain in his post as CM of Delhi. "Such CM has no moral responsibility to stay on the post. He must resign immediately," he added.

Earlier, Delhi Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash met Home Minister Rajnath Singh after the former was assaulted. Speaking to the media after his meeting, Prakash said, "Till action is not taken we are not going to resume work. Today we will take out a candle march at Rajghat in protest. The home minister has said he has asked for a report."
Prakash has complained to Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal that Okhla MLA Amanatullah Khan and another lawmaker attacked him in the presence of Kejriwal during a meeting.
The ruling party denied the allegations as "ludicrous" and claimed that the bureaucrat is doing so at the "BJP’s behest."
According to media reports, Delhi Police has not yet received any complaint about the incident yet.

Following the incident, Delhi Administrative Subordinates services announced a strike with immediate effect, bringing the Delhi government to a halt.
Okhla MLA Amanatullah Khan was one of the two leaders named by the chief secretary in his complaint letter to the LG.
Rejecting the charges, the AAP said: "About 2.5 lakh families deprived of rations last month due to faulty implementation of Aadhaar. MLAs were under tremendous pressure from public. There was a meeting of MLAs at CM residence. Chief Secretary refused to answer questions saying that he was not answerable to MLAs and CM and that he was answerable only to LG. He even used bad language against some MLAs and left without answering any questions."
"Now he is making such ludicrous allegations. Obviously, he is doing it at BJP’s behest. BJP has stooped v low in disrupting governance in Del thro LG and officers," an AAP statement said.
"If CS can make such wild allegations, one can imagine the kind of obstacles that are being created in AAP govt’s work by BJP through the officers," it said.
Reacting to the incident, Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken said, "Kejriwal should apologise for this hooliganism which took place before him."
"AAP Govt is unable to deliver-Beating of Chief Secretary by MLAs in front of CM is another low & is aimed to divert attention from Govt failures! AAP does not know Governance and has failed miserably," he said.
Meanwhile, AAP leader Ashish Khetan and minister Imran Hussain alleged that they were assaulted inside Delhi Secretariat by staffers.
