New Delhi: The BJP is planning to approach the Election Commission on Thursday against the protest by members of Aam Aadmi Party outside its office in the national capital, as per reports.
The BJP will also reportedly ask the EC to take action against the AAP.
AAP workers on Wednesday fought running battles with BJP activists outside BJP`s party headquarters in Delhi and Lucknow hours and Arvind Kejriwal`s car was damaged in Gujarat in retaliation to protests against his brief detention in the state.
The violence on the streets came on a day the EC announced the Lok Sabha poll schedule and police in Gujarat stopped Kejriwal, who began a four-day tour of the state, on his tracks for alleged violation of the model code of conduct by travelling in a long carcade. Shortly later, he was allowed to go.
Accusing Narendra Modi of getting scared of Kejriwal and initiating police action, AAP workers stormed the BJP head office on Ashoka Road in central Delhi protesting against Kejriwal`s detention in Radhanpur in North Gujarat where he has gone to "inspect" development that has been claimed by Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
They shouted slogans against Modi saying he was "scared" by Kejriwal`s visit and was using the police against him. The rival sides attacked each other indulging in pelting of stones. Plastic chairs were hurled from inside BJP office on the protesters outside.
Police which reached the spot used water canons to disperse the warring activists.
The scene outside the BJP office looked a battle field with activists of both sides hurling stones and other missiles at each other. At least five people from either side were injured, police said. Police said an FIR will be filed in the case.
