The Poster War Heats Up

On January 6, the AAP launched a scathing attack on the BJP by releasing a poster labeling Home Minister Amit Shah as an ‘Electoral Muslim.’ The poster features Shah in a Kashmiri woolen cap, with the iconic Jama Masjid in the background.

The poster raises a provocative question: “Have you ever wondered why the BJP remembers Muslims only during elections?” This bold move comes amidst growing accusations of BJP’s alleged anti-Muslim stance.

BJP’s Counterattack

The BJP had previously targeted AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, calling him an ‘Electoral Hindu.’ The BJP’s poster depicted Kejriwal in a priest-like avatar, mocking his promise to provide Rs. 18,000 monthly compensation to temple priests and gurdwara granthis.

Underlying Controversies

At the heart of the clash lies the issue of Rohingya Muslims and illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. The AAP alleges that the BJP is settling these refugees in Delhi while criticizing them in public. The BJP counters by accusing the AAP of issuing documents to these immigrants and using them as a vote bank.

Escalating Political Rivalry

As the elections approach, both parties are intensifying their accusations, with religion becoming a central theme in their political strategies. This war of words highlights the deepening divide between the two major parties in Delhi’s political landscape.
