After its Punjab and Goa polls debacle, the AAP is "demoralised" and Arvind Kejriwal is resorting to video campaigns because of the "shortfall of party workers", senior BJP leader Vijender Gupta alleged today.
"It (video campaign) shows the desperation of the party which is finding it difficult to mobilise party workers as they too are demoralised to take up the campaign for MCD elections. The videos will now fill the large gap created by the absence of party workers," Gupta said.
The Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly also claimed the videos were "nothing but the summary of the recent publicity campaign" launched by the Aam Aadmi Party.
The AAP has set up mobile LED screens and projectors across the city, playing a message by Kejriwal, seeking to woo voters for the April 22 municipal polls.
The AAP has already announced candidates for 260 of the 272 seats and is conducting door-to-door canvassing to reach out to the electorate.
"The aim is to misinform and misguide the public on the so-called achievements of the party (AAP). It is as if Kejriwal is again launching a failed film at the box office. Delhi's public is too intelligent to be taken in by such false publicity," Gupta alleged.
"It is strange that on the one hand AAP demands voting through ballot papers and on the other, it is going to use technology to amplify Kejriwal's message of the broom cleaning the city's garbage," he said.
