AAP Accuses BJP of ‘Misleading Campaign’ against Kejriwal, Plans EC Complaint

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday accused the BJP of running a “derogatory and misleading” campaign on social media against its national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

The party announced its intention to submit a complaint to the Election Commission (EC).

AAP leader Raghav Chadha, while addressing a press conference stated that they have written to the EC to seek a meeting for the party delegation to officially file the complaint.

This move follows the Election Commission’s issuance of a show-cause notice to Kejriwal for alleged disparaging remarks made by the party against the Prime Minister on AAP’s social media handle. Kejriwal has been asked to respond to the charge of violating the poll code by November 16, 2023.

“The BJP has been running a misleading, defamatory campaign against Kejriwal. The Delhi BJP’s handle on X shared a post on November 5 and it was also posted by the party’s official handles in the election-bound states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. This is a violation of the model code of conduct,” the AAP leader alleged.
