Row over poster case: Congress attacks AAP, Kejriwal for practicing low level politics

Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee Chief Arvinder Singh Lovely on Saturday attacked Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal and his partymen for practicing low level politics and condemned the AAP for putting up incriminating posters in Jamia Nagar.

"It is a very tragic thing that those who used to talk about not joining politics for power, after failing on Janlokpal issue and leaving corruption issues have now stooped to low level politics. First he tried to level allegations against us and our MLAs and tarnish their images which is a larger part of conspiracy. Whenever there is a talk of money be it related to horsetrading or scams, how come he gets to know such information firsthand. Therefore this angle must be probed," Lovely said at a press conference.

"With the arrest of these people by the Delhi Police, this has now been established that as a part of conspiracy they leveled allegations and then put up hoardings which were to confuse the minorities," he added.

"If they had right intentions then why was not the name of the party mentioned. Now this shows that they want to do vote bank politics and help the BJP. We strongly condemn applying such tactics by AAP. Now that the level of politics in Delhi has come down it is solely because of Arvind Kejriwal," he further added.

The Aam Aadmi Party has claimed that the BJP is trying to frame them over arrest of party spokesperson Dilip Pandey and a few other AAP members under non-bailable Sections 153 and 295 of the Indian Penal Code, for allegedly instigating people, and putting up posters with provocative message against Congress MLAs in Jamia Nagar area.

According to the police, Congress MLAs alleged that the posters, along with provocative message have been put up by AAP to divide the community.
