BJP leaders in the national capital have come out in support of AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal and sought action in the matter amid heated talks surrounding the alleged assault on Maliwal by the close aide of Delhi Chief Minister. Further controversy erupted when Delhi BJP leader Shazia Ilmi revealed her personal experiences of dealing with Kumar`s wrongdoing. Along with the alleged assault, the Delhi police also filed a formal complaint on Thursday night, citing Bibhav Kumar, the assistant to the Delhi chief minister. Per an ANI report, BJP`s Shazia Ilmi said, "They are defending this for political gain. She (Swati Maliwal) has been beaten. Bibhav Kumar`s job profile is to obey Arvind Kejriwal. I have also tolerated the misbehaviour of that person. Prashant Kumar and Yogendra Yadav were also kicked out by bouncers. But this time they have crossed limits. Is beating up a woman by your PA appropriate? The police have done well. They have reached for her help."
Further, she asked for Kejriwal`s resignation from the CM post. "Kejriwal should resign immediately. It is not right for him to maintain that chair. After getting a female colleague beaten up, he has no reason to be the CM. He should apologize and resign, and there should be immediate criminal action. No one should think that this has been done by Bibhav. All of this has been done by Arvind Kejriwal. Bibhav has done this misbehaviour on the orders of Arvind Kejriwal," Ilmi alleged. President of the Delhi BJP Virendra Sachdeva questioned Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal`s lack of response to the issue.
