The verbal and political war between Aam Aadmi Party and BJP is not new but the feud was evident on the streets of Delhi as BJP workers showed black flags to Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal

As Kejriwal reached the venue of inauguration of a bridge in Mukundpur, he was greeted by BJP workers who waved black flags at him.  The workers chanted slogans but they were prevented  from reaching the Delhi CM by the police.

Delhi  BJP spokesperon Pravin Shankar Kapoor claimed that Delhi government is politicizing completion of public projects and it is in violation of the protocol.

Kejriwal was in Mukundpur to inaugurate a bridge built by public works department. BJP alleged that the protocol  was violated as no information about inauguration was given to local BJP MP Manoj Tiwari. Manoj Tiwari is Delhi BJP chief as well.

 Aam Admi Party and BJP have been bitter enemies ever since AAP swept the Delhi assembly elections. The election saw AAP single-handedly  controlling the Delhi legislative assembly with 66 out of 70 seats in its kitty. The Congress drew a blank with BJP having to settle on 4 seats eventually. The bitter feud between CM Kejriwal and former lieutenant-governor Najeeb Jung was out in the open. Jung had stalled many orders given by Kejriwal. It was suggested from many quarters that Jung had steadfast support from the higher ups but the impasse wasn't resolved.
