RAJKOT: The Aam Aadmi Party claimed on Saturday that the BJP, which is in power in Gujarat, was using anti-AAP signs and the Hindutva theme to divert attention away from its failures.

Indranil Rajguru, the head of the AAP, accused the incumbent government of failing to provide quality healthcare, educational opportunities, and career opportunities.

Rajguru defended his claims by claiming that because the BJP controls both the state government and the Rajkot Municipal Corporation, such hoardings in public locations have appeared overnight. These hoardings were put up on Friday night, and the corporation has not yet taken them down. The Municipal Corporation officers would have jumped into action and taken it down if it had been put up by any other party. The party will file a lawsuit against the placement of such anti-AAP billboards.

He further claimed that if the ruling party had provided better social services, people would not have begun to favour AAP. As a result of the ruling party's inability to accept the AAP's growing popularity in Gujarat and its fear of losing support among voters there, the BJP has reverted back to its tried-and-true strategy of playing the Hindutva card.

In the aforementioned posters and hoardings, it is stated that the AAP minister Rajdendra Pal took the oath, "I will now onwards not believe in Lord Brahma, Vishnu, or Mahesh," when he converted to Buddhism. It also features an image of Arvind Kejriwal wearing a skull cap and the words, "These are AAP's words and culture." Bharat Boghra, the vice-president of the Gujarat chapter of the BJP, has denied that his party is responsible for the hoardings, claiming that the residents of Gujarat will never tolerate such ideas and viewpoints.
