Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Yogendra Yadav on Monday said the adverisements of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and an interview given their chief ministerial candidate for Delhi Kiran Bedi will be enough to reduce his party's workload.
"The truth is that if BJP gives such advertisements everyday and one television interview by Kiran Bedi, our work will reduce. Everyone will come to know what they are," said Yadav.
"I am surprised that the BJP got this advertisement approved. Using the word "baniya" for Arvind Kejriwal has created a huge controversy. Are they allowed to give such advertisements? People of Delhi will answer this on February 7," he added.
Earlier, the AAP demanded a public apology from the BJP for the advertisement and said they would file a complaint with the Election Commission. The ad contains a caricature of Kejriwal who swears on his children that he would never join hands with the Congress.
The ad also reportedly refers to him as belonging to a 'boisterous' gotra.
Political parties have criticized the BJP, even though it has gone silent on the matter.
