Commenting on the viral video on social media, BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla and Delhi BJP leader Tejinder Pal Singh Bagga in their Tweet targeted Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Gulab Singh tried to pacify the party workers, but the situation turned ugly. Thereafter a scuffle ensued between AAP workers and Gulab Singh Yadav, later forcing the MLA to flee from the spot. Gulab Singh Yadav was elected MLA twice from the Matiala Assembly seat on the AAP ticket. In 2020, he defeated his rival Rajesh Gehlot from Bharatiya Janata Party by 28,000 votes.
