New Delhi: Another controversial BJP cartoon seems to have hit AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal, once again. AAP has accused BJP of playing the caste or ‘gotra’ card in an advertisement that shows Kejriwal threatening the Republic Day parade and asking for a VIP pass.

The ad uses the term ‘upadravi gotra’ (one who causes nuisance) to describe Kejriwal. AAP leader Ashutosh has demanded the BJP to apologise and withdraw the ad immediately.

Nupur Sharma, BJP’s candidate from New Delhi, has also launched an attack on her rival, Kejriwal.

Sharma has launched a poster campaign using her party’s strategy of posing questions to Kejriwal in the New Delhi constituency. The first poster of the six-part series, according to sources in the BJP, was launched on Sunday in the constituency. “Starting from Sunday for six days, a new poster and leaflet will be released in the New Delhi constituency, where Kejriwal is a candidate. Through the poster, we will try to make voters aware of the differences between Kejriwal’s words and action,” the source said.

In one poster, Sharma asked Kejriwal, “Would you apologise for wasting a year of people of Delhi?” In another poster Ms Sharma asked, “Have you ever felt ashamed of false promises you made to people?” Ms Sharma’s posters also appeal to voters beware of the “false promises” allegedly made by Kejriwal.

The BJP source also revealed that Ms Sharma would also question Kejriwal about the number of public toilets, especially for women, constructed by him in the constituency he represented in the last Assembly. “The questions in the posters will focus on the work done by Kejriwal,” the source added.

To corner Mr Kejriwal in his Assembly seat, the BJP has deployed Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan to monitor and execute Ms Sharma’s election campaign.

A 25-member committee has been formed under Mr Pradhan and Delhi BJP’s youth wing general secretary Suni Yadav to guide Ms Sharma’s election strategy.

A six-member core committee has also been constituted to take the final call on poll strategy in the high profile New Delhi Assembly constituency.

The BJP has fielded 30-year-old Nupur Sharma, one the youngest candidates, against former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal from the New Delhi seat. Ms Sharma had headed the Delhi University Students’ Union in 2008-09.
