The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) staged demonstrations in central Delhi on Friday, turning the city’s busy Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg into a protest battleground.
While AAP workers accused the BJP of rigging the recent Chandigarh mayoral election, those from the BJP hit out at AAP national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over alleged corruption in the Delhi government.
In view of the protests, the police ramped up security across the district. They also said that nearly 150 workers of AAP and 60 from the BJP were detained around 1.45 p.m., taken to separate police stations, and released after a few hours.
