साथियों आज रात क़रीबन 1:30 बजे पहले 60 फूटा पर अज्ञात हमलावरों ने हाल चाल पूछने के बहाने मुझ पर जानलेवा हमला करा हैं.. मैं आप सभी के आशीर्वाद से बाल-2 बचा हूँ.. अपने साथियों भाइयों से कहना चाहता हूँ कि शांति बनाये रखे और पुलिस प्रशासन पर भरोसा रखे न्याय ज़रूर होगा... pic.twitter.com/qcu6RoGaY5

"I was injured due to shards of glass. I think it is part of the conspiracy of my opposition against whom I am fighting the polls. It was done to bring down the morale of my party workers" he said.
"If we have not driven the car away it could have been a disastrous attack on me," he added.
