Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari filed a complaint on Saturday with the Delhi poll body accusing Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of "intentionally insulting" his profession and Poorvanchali community.
At a public meeting held for Aam Aadmi Party's northeast Delhi candidate Dilip Pandey, Kejriwal had said Pandey does not know how to make people dance, something which Tiwari knows best.
Kejriwal had asked people to vote for Pandey and not Tiwari.
In a complaint filed with the Chief Electoral Officer, Delhi, Tiwari, an actor and singer,said, "My profession is not immoral and illegal and that people of our country feel proud that being a professional, I am serving the masses and representing Poorvanchali people living in Delhi."
