Delhi Chief Minister Atishi lambasted BJP over attack on Kejriwal and demanded action by Delhi police. During a press conference, she said, "...Today during the padyatra, some BJP workers raised slogans against Arvind Kejriwal and attacked him. Anything could have happened to him in this attack. If they had weapons, Arvind Kejriwal could have also lost his life. This attack has clearly been carried out by the BJP because BJP workers had attacked Arvind Kejriwal earlier as well. Till date, Delhi police has not taken any action against those who had attacked Arvind Kejriwal."

It was a "cowardly" attempt by the BJP, said AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj who made the claim.

He alleged that the attack was made because Kejriwal is going among the masses and is getting their love and affection.
