Earlier in the day, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) wants to "kill" Kejriwal after its debacle in the Punjab polls.
He also alleged that activists of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), the youth wing of the saffron party, damaged CCTV cameras and security barriers at the chief minister's residence during a protest.
