Signature Bridge inauguration event: AAP claimed Manoj Tiwari attacked its workers and punched a policeman who intervened. BJP, however, said that AAP leader Amanatullah Khan used abusive language and pushed Tiwari.

NEW DELHI: Ahead of the inauguration of the Signature Bridge over the Yamuna, BJP and AAP activists clashed here on Sunday. Delhi BJP chief Manoj 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. His supporters and AAP volunteers were involved in a scuffle. AAP claimed Tiwari attacked its workers and punched a policeman who intervened. BJP, however, said that AAP leader Amanatullah Khan used abusive language and pushed Tiwari. Tiwari accused the AAP of attacking him after inviting for the event. "I am thankful to Sisodia for inviting me. But why are they attacking me with goons?" he asked. He said he was giving the credit for the bridge's completion to the AAP government. "I also wanted to share this credit," he told the media. A video released by Tiwari's office purportedly shows AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan pushing Tiwari. The clip was shared by news agency ANI. 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?" The bridge will be thrown open for public on Monday.
