NEW DELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday released a new poster featuring former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal as the villain character ‘Mogambo’ from the Bollywood film Mr India.
The BJP’s social media post on X attacked Kejriwal, alleging that the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) stance against the Purvanchal region had been exposed.
The post read, “The anti-Purvanchal face of AAP has been exposed before the entire country! UP-Bihar people living in Delhi are fake for Arvind Kejriwal. But are their friends the Rohingya and the Bangladeshi infiltrators? (AAP ka purvanchal virodhi chehra poor desh ke saamne benkaab ho chuka hai! Dilli mein reh rahe UP-Bihar ke log Arvind Kejriwal ke liye farji. Lekin Rohingya aur Bangladesh ghuspaithiye inke yaar?)
In a quick response, the AAP responded with a fake video. The video, posted on X, parodied the BJP poster and included a fictitious conversation between Kejriwal and Union Minister Amit Shah. The X-ranked Party said, “Seeing the defeat in front of me in Delhi, the BJP is in a fix.” (Dilli mein haar saamne dekh, BJP ke haath-pair phool gaye)
The parody video featured the following dialogue: Kejriwal: “Lagta hai. Dilli mein phir aaj haar saamne dikh rahi hai.” Amit Shah: “Haar ka to mujhe bhi poor darr hai. Lekin abhi mera focus khaata kholne mein hai.” Amrish Puri: “Dulha kahaan hai, vision ka hai, sirf gaaliyan hain. Dilli mein Kejriwal ne kaam karke dikhaya hai aur tumne sirf gaaliyan di hain. Gaaliyan. Dilli ke chunaav mein kaam ki baat hoti hai. CM face hota hai, CM chehra hota hai. Kabhi dekhi hai koi bin dulhe ki baraat Nahi Kyunki bin neta ke chunaav nahi ladte: “Lekin khata to khul sakta hai” Amrish Puri: “Are khata bhool ja, 1 bhi seat bhool ja.” Ye mahila bhi tujhe kabhi vote nahi dene wali.”
This new exchange of posters and videos is part of the ongoing ‘poster and video war’ between the AAP and the BJP. Both sides have been actively posting Bollywood-inspired content, with fake videos and movie posters taking center stage on their respective social media platforms.
Meanwhile, BJP shared another poster with the caption: “Arvind Kejriwal is the mastermind behind Rs 2,026 crore liquor scam. People of Delhi will settle scores on February 5.”
