BJP hits back at AAP’s posters with ‘remove Kejriwal’ posters in Delhi

New Delhi: Posters calling for the removal of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal appeared in Delhi on Thursday morning.

Giving another dimension to the face off between the BJP and AAP, thousands of posters sloganeering ‘Modi hatao, desh bachao’ had emerged in Delhi on Tuesday which were quickly removed by the cops.

Alongside filing several cases in the incident, police arrested six suspects including two owners of printing press, according to NDTV.

In what appears to a ‘poster war’, the latest of them termed Kejriwal a ‘dishonest, corrupt dictator’, alongside calling for the removal of the chief minister to ‘save Delhi’.

The turf war between the BJP and the AAP has intensified recently after AAP’s Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia was arrested in liquor policy case.

Police said that people were arrested for defacing public property and absence of the name of printing press on the posters as required by the law; also of the total 138 cases filed, 36 of them were linked to anti-Modi posters.

Rubbishing the police’s expiation for the arrest, Kejriwal called PM Modi ‘insecure’, saying that the Prime Minister is scared though anyone can put up a poster.

Police seized some 2,000 posters allegedly to be delivered to AAP office; later, AAP called the police action as the ‘peak of Modi government's dictatorship’.

Meanwhile, AAP declared a protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi today calling for the ouster of PM Modi.

Delhi BJP spokesperson Harish Khurana said AAP had no courage to say that it had put up the posters.

Owners of printing press face action for having not singed the posters with their press’ name.

The printing press owners reportedly told the police they had received an order for 50,000 copies of posters that called for the ouster of PM Modi.
