Weeks before the scheduled Delhi Assembly Elections, a poster war has erupted between the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi and the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Intensifying the attack on each other, the AAP and the BJP have released posters on their social media portals taking a jibe on each other.
In one of the posters released by the AAP, the ruling party has targeted BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri on the backdrop of the latter's controversial comments. Posting a poster of Bidhuri on X (formerly Twitter), the AAP wrote, "Abusive party's abusive Chief Minister candidate."
In BJP's poster, AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal was featured wearing a crown, with a glass of liqor in his hand. In the background, the people were seen struggling to get water from tankers, broken roads, landfills and others.
The caption of the poster read, "This AAP-Da gang has ruined Delhi! Now we will not tolerate it, we will change our mind."
In a poster released by the AAP, it has taken a potshot on BJP and Congress, accusing the Congress leaders of being a pawn in the hands of BJP. The poster featured Home Minister Amit Shah playing chess with photos of Congress leaders Sandeep Dikshit, Ajay Maken, and Alka Lamba shown as pawns on the chessboard.
In another poster released by the BJP, it has accused Arvind Kejeiwal for calling people from Purvanchal fake voters.The post reads, "People from UP-Bihar living in Delhi are fake for Arvind Kejriwal, but Rohingya and Bangladeshi infiltrators are their relatives? Kejriwal calls people from Purvanchal fake voters, now this Purvanchal society will teach AAP a good lesson on 5th February!"
Polling for all 70 assembly seats in Delhi will be held in a single phase on February 5 and counting of votes will be done on February 8.
