Arvind Kejriwal was meeting everyone, when suddenly a person threw spirit on him and tried to burn him alive… This is a serious matter. Ever since Arvind Kejriwal started the Padyatra, BJP is realizing its defeat in the (Delhi) assembly elections for the third time, so now they are conspiring against him.
