As per reports, several BJP workers were holding demonstration since morning outside Jal Board office under the leadership of Gupta.
Chadha, in his tweet, also alleged that BJP goons attacked his office because Delhi Chief Minister and AAP are raising voices in support with farmers.
भाजपा के गुंडे मेरे ऊपर हमले करने आए क्योंकि अरविंद केजरीवाल जी और हम सब किसानों के लिए आवाज़ उठा रहे हैं। मेरे ऑफिस में आकर तोड़फोड़ करते हैं और कहते हैं समझा देना अपने केजरीवाल को, किसानों के हक की आवाज़ उठाना बन्द करे।

In a series of tweets, AAP alleged that Gupta along with other 250 workers of the saffron party barged into Chadha’s office and broke the glasses, doors and pots.
“Around 12.30 pm, several BJP workers broke the doors and attacked the headquarters of Jal Board and raised slogans against the honorable Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The BJP workers have also damaged the office of Vice President Raghav Chadha,” AAP said in a Hindi statement.
दिल्ली जल बोर्ड ऑफिस पर हुए हमले के दौरान भाजपा के गुंडों के संग दिल्ली भाजपा के प्रमुख @adeshguptabjp भी मौजूद थे। ये हमला एक सोची समझी साजिश के तहत हुआ है।

However, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) denied the allegations saying the attack was orchestrated by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Delhi BJP spokesperson Virendra Babar alleged that the AAP had itself orchestrated the attack and was now blaming the saffron party.
AAP का काम है झूठ बोलना और असल मुद्दों से ध्यान हटाना। भाजपा दिल्ली की जनता के हितों के लिए लड़ती रहेगी और इसी तरह AAP की पोल खोलती रहेगी। आज CM केजरीवाल का टैंकर घोटाला जनता के सामने आ चुका है, इसी बात से परेशान CM और उनके नेता बौखला गए हैं।#KejriwalTankerGhotala https://t.co/4MB9rXWWYY

The AAP leader also alleged that BJP workers had come to the DJB headquarters to protest and the police allowed them to enter the premises. The Delhi Police has detained party unit chief Adesh Gupta and many workers, but we are not afraid of these tactics, he said.
