The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Vice President Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Thursday described the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as the B-team of the Congress Party.
"AAP is proxy party of the Congress, and it has inherited the ideals and traditions of the Congress. Though it shows itself as an ethical party and claims that it has credible, honest and unbiased leaders, this is all lie." Naqvi said in response to the Election Commission's (EC) notice to AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal.
The EC notice was issued after Rajouri Garden resident Harish Khurana complained to the former about a pamphlet distributed by AAP.
Kejriwal has reportedly presented the AAP as a "secular" alternative for Delhi's Muslim voters.
"The BJP is a communal party ... until now, the Muslims (of Delhi) did not have an alternative. But now they have got an honest and secular alternative. I appeal to all Muslims to join AAP in its efforts to create a cleaner polity," the pamphlet Kejriwal, as saying.
The EC held Kejriwal prima facie violative of the Model Code of Conduct, and ask him to reply to its notice by 11 a.m. on November 25, failing which, it warned that action could be taken.
