A fresh political storm has hit Delhi after BJP accused AAP’s Atishi of making a shocking statement that has outraged party leaders. Describing it as ‘sad and regrettable,’ BJP has urged the minister to apologize without delay, intensifying the bitterness between the two parties.
Details emerged from a widely circulated audio-visual clip where Atishi is heard allegedly targeting opponents with strong language. BJP workers took to the streets in protest, holding placards and chanting slogans against AAP’s leadership. ‘This is hate speech disguised as politics,’ one senior BJP figure remarked during a press briefing.
AAP hit back swiftly, labeling the controversy a desperate bid by BJP to gain headlines. ‘Fake news is their only weapon,’ quipped an AAP spokesperson, promising legal action against those spreading the ‘fabricated’ content. The party has accused BJP of resorting to low tactics amid their string of electoral defeats.
Background checks reveal similar spats have defined Delhi politics for years, with both sides accusing each other of misinformation. This incident comes at a sensitive time, as AAP pushes its welfare schemes while BJP eyes a comeback in local bodies.
Political pundits see this as a preview of fiercer battles ahead. Public reaction is mixed, with some decrying divisive talk and others viewing it as routine electioneering. As investigations into the clip’s veracity continue, Delhi’s voters are left grappling with yet another layer of political intrigue.
