The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) plans to file a complaint with the Election Commission against the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) alleged character assassination of party chief Arvind Kejriwal, it said on Wednesday, seeking strict action against the saffron party.
This comes a day after the EC issued a show cause notice to the AAP for making “disparaging” remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi on its social media handle.
“The BJP for the past many days has been doing character assassination of AAP’s chief and star campaigner Arvind Kejriwal mainly through their social media handles. A derogatory and defamatory vilification campaign is being run against him. The AAP is going to file a complaint with the Election Commission against this conspiracy of the BJP and the character assassination of Arvind Kejriwal,” AAP MP Raghav Chadha told journalists. He added that the party is hopeful that the EC will take note of the complaint soon and take action against the BJP.
