Punjabi instructors booed Arvind Kejriwal at a roadshow in Himachal Pradesh, causing him to depart halfway through his address. Some AAP supporters beat and assaulted protestors, who vowed to continue protesting at Kejriwal’s rallies.

During a roadshow in Himachal Pradesh, a group of Punjabi teachers screamed insults at Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal, prompting him to interrupt mid-speech and leave the event. Some AAP supporters attacked the demonstrators during the melee, but they insisted that they would still demonstrate at Kejriwal’s rallies in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh.

Kejriwal previously participated in a road show to assist the AAP candidates in Solan. From the bypass, the road show traveled to the former bus depot. As he began to address the crowd at the bus stop, several bystanders began yelling insults at him and the AAP government in Punjab. Additionally, they flung some papers into the air.

Kejriwal said that the demonstrators were “supported by opposition parties” to cause a commotion while they continued to shout chants. He said that those demonstrating were “not the Punjabi teachers, but paid Congress and BJP people.”

Later, the protesters said that they had come to Shimla to meet Kejriwal as the Punjab government was yet to fulfill its promise. They said that Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was not meeting them and Kejriwal was not coming to Punjab. One of the protesting teachers said that they will go to Gujarat too, where elections have been announced, and tell the people about the failed promises of the AAP. “Jahan, Jahan Kejriwal Jayenge, hum wahan, wahan Jayenge (wherever Kejriwal goes, we will follow),” he said.

Amid the ruckus, Kejriwal left his speech midway and left the venue.
Earlier, Kejriwal targeted both Congress and BJP saying that the successive governments of the two parties only looted Himachal Pradesh. “Now, an honest party has come to Himachal. The state must give a chance to AAP. If we fail to fulfill our promises, we will not ask for votes again,” he said.

The AAP has promised the people of Himachal 11 promises, all of which would be fulfilled if the party wins the state’s next election, according to the Delhi CM. Kejriwal said that Himachal Pradesh has the chance to choose an honorable candidate. If the AAP takes power, corruption would come to an end, he said.
