In Dwarka, bullet scrapes past BJP candidate

Rajpoot said he ducked just in time as the party workers accompanying him shouted in alarm. Then, 8220;the two sped away immediately.8221;

Dabri Station House Officer A K Jain said a case has been registered against unknown persons. 8220;It is too early to comment on who could be behind the attack. We have begun investigation.8221;

Rajpoot and his party workers, meanwhile, alleged Mahabal Mishra, the Congress candidate from Dwarka, was behind the attack, though the FIR does not mention that.

Mishra said he did not even know about the incident and in turn alleged it could be a self-staged incident to gain sympathy of the voters. 8220;I was not even aware of the attack until some mediapersons called me this noon to enquire,8221; he said. 8220;It is just a gimmick on Rajpoot8217;s part to gain sympathy of voters just before the polls.8221;

He said, 8220;It will have no effect on my supporters; I am confident of victory.8221;

BJP8217;s chief ministerial candidate V K Malhotra said: 8220;I was informed of the incident this Friday evening. It is too early to point fingers at anyone.8221;
