Delhi Elections 2020: BJP's 'Raavan' Jibe At Kejriwal

Former Madhya Pradesh chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan took potshots at Delhi chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal claiming that even today Raavan is scared of Lord Hanuman.

The BJP leader made his comment in a tweet he posted on Tuesday:

Meanwhile, BJP leader and MLA candidate from the Model Town constituency in Delhi, Kapil Mishra posted a controversial and provocative tweet saying that at this rate Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi will also start reading it soon.

With elections to the Delhi state assembly barely four days away, the BJP has upped the ante. It launched a flurry of personal attacks on Kejriwal led by Uttar Pradesh chief Minister Yogi Adityanath who accused Kejriwal of supplying biriyani to the Shaheen Bagh protesters demonstrating against Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

Union Minister Prakash Javadekar termed Kejriwal as someone who fits the description of a terrorist considering he described himself as an anarchist once. Other BJP leaders including Union Minister of State for Finance, Anurag Thakur, MP Parvesh Verma and MLA candidate Kapil Mishra have been strident in their criticism of Kejriwal.

On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi attacked the AAP and Congress for their support to protesters demonstrating at Shaheen Bagh against CAA. PM Modi termed the Shaheen Bagh protest as an experiment and a part of a larger conspiracy woven by Congress and AAP.
