New Delhi, April 8: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal reacted on Twitter after getting slapped for the second time in a week. Kejriwal was attacked by an auto-driver named Lali who slapped him after greeting him with a garland during a road show in Sultanpuri in North West Delhi constituency. Lali, known to be a former supporter of the AAP, said he slapped Kejriwal because he was angry that his party did not fulfil promises.

Kejriwal, who had asked his supporters to remain calm after being slapped and punched in his neck in Dakshinpuri last week, posted a series of tweets after the incident.

Here is what he said in those tweets:
