There will be more attacks, we can also get killed: Arvind Kejriwal on being slapped in Delhi

New Delhi: AAP chief and former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday said he faced a threat to life after being slapped by a man while campaigning in New Delhi

"These attacks are scripted. When they (attackers) are arrested, they repeat the (same) script," Kejriwal told media.

The attacker, an auto driver, first garlanded the AAP leader and then gave him a tight slap. In the second attack on him in the last four days, Arvind Kejriwal was on Tuesday slapped by an unidentified man during a roadshow in Sultanpuri area of North West Delhi and the AAP leader immediately blamed BJP for it.

Kejriwal's supporters immediately thrashed the attacker, an autorickshaw driver wearing an AAP cap. He was later detained by police.

"I do not understand why some people resort to violence to become the Prime Minister. If you think by attacking us we will keep quiet, then you are wrong. We will fight this battle till the last breath," he said.

The AAP leader headed for Rajghat after the incident. "I am going to Rajghat," he said.

This was second such attack on Kejriwal in the last four days. He was attacked by a 19-year-old youth during his campaigning in Dakshinpuri area of South Delhi on Friday.

The former Chief Minister has been attacked a number of times in the past.

On March 28, he was attacked by a man, who claimed to be a supporter of Anna Hazare, during his election rally in Haryana.

In Varanasi last week, protesters threw ink on Kejriwal and a number of other party leaders during a roadshow.

Here is what he tweeted shortly after being slapped:

I am just thinking - why am i being repeatedly attacked? Who r the masterminds? What do they want? What do they achieve?
