Delhi Polls 2025: The Aam Aadmi Party slammed the BJP after a Delhi Police team allegedly took its workers to the police station "under pressure from the BJP". AAP Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha said that the workers were taken to the police station while they were campaigning in the New Delhi Assembly constituency on Saturday night.

Upon getting information, Chadha along with his Rajya Sabha colleague Sandeep Pathak and several other leaders, reached the Parliament Street police station. AAP leaders said that when they sought to know the reason for the detention of the party workers, the police had no answer.

Raghav Chadha said: "Our workers did not violate any rule. So, the police had to release them all, but only after being pressured. He said that the way people were trying to misuse the government machinery, shows that AAP is rapidly gaining ground in the Delhi elections."

Chadha said that the AAP workers were participating in a door-to-door campaign in the New Delhi Assembly when the police suddenly detained them and led them to the Parliament Street police station. Former CM and AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal is contesting the New Delhi seat against the BJP's Parvesh Verma and the Congress's Sandeep Dikshit.

After the AAP leaders explained all the laws and provisions and insisted on the workers' release, the police were forced to let them go, Chadha said. He added: "It is clear that an atmosphere of fear is being created and an attempt is being made to demoralise the workers of the Aam Aadmi Party, but we shall not let this happen."

With these allegations, the BJP vs AAP war has intensified even more ahead of the Delhi assembly elections scheduled for February 5. The results will be declared on February 8.
