The BJP on Thursday launched a fresh attack on AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal with a new poster reading ‘Scam 2024,’ referencing the OTT series Scam 1992 on stock market fraud involving Harshad Mehta. The poster accused the former Chief Minister of voter list manipulation and called him a “big fraud”. AAP was quick to respond with another poster, referring to Kejriwal as GOAT – Greatest Of All Time.
The BJP alleged that fake voter registrations were carried out in Delhi, primarily from a “specific community,” and accused Kejriwal of “loving fake votes”.
“Kejriwal’s new game in Delhi! Attempt to save power by rigging votes. The house owner is unaware and this fraudster had created hundreds of votes on his home address and that too of a particular community (and the age of the new voters ranged from 40 years to 80 years),” the party wrote, sharing the poster.
Shortly after the BJP’s poster jibe, the AAP responded with a G.O.A.T-themed motion poster featuring Arvind Kejriwal. The video superimposed Kejriwal’s face onto a scene resembling a clip from actor Vijay’s movie ‘G.O.A.T,’ with a government hospital and school shown in the background.
Earlier this week, the BJP shared another poster mocking Kejriwal, labelling him a “chunavi Hindu” (Hindu for election purposes) after he promised Rs 18,000 per month to temple priests and gurdwara granthis ahead of the assembly elections.
The BJP’s poster depicted Kejriwal in a theatrical, priest-like avatar reminiscent of actor Rajpal Yadav’s character in bollywood film Bhool Bhulaiyaa. The image showed Kejriwal adorned with rudraksha beads, flower garlands, and vermilion, with incense sticks tucked behind his ear.
The two parties are embroiled in a heated war of words, with AAP accusing the BJP of vote-buying and manipulating voter lists, while the BJP retaliates with allegations of false promises and corruption, among other charges.
Delhi is expected to hold Assembly elections to choose its 70 MLAs before February this year.
