False publicity

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led Delhi government's television advertisement has managed to grab eyeballs, for all the wrong reasons though. Social media users and media are questioning the "sexist" overtone of the advertisement. It depicts a wife doing all the household chores and looking after her son while the husband just sits and watches TV. Now, Prashant Bhushan, a former AAP member who quit the party over differences with Arvind Kejriwal, has another bone to pick. His new organisation, Swaraj Abhiyan, issued a formal press release lambasting the advertisement, stating "the ad has not a single mention of Delhi government and has 11 mentions of Arvind Kejriwal - seven times as Kejriwal, two times as 'Arvind', and the other two as "unhone" and "unkey." It has demanded that the expenses of the advertisement be made public and "such glorification of an individual at the cost of the public exchequer be stopped in Delhi".
