New Delhi: Ahead of Delhi assembly elections as poster war begins in political parties, the Aam Aadmi Party filed a complaint against the Bharatiya Janata Party alleging the circulation of a ‘false video’ depicting Delhi’s roads in poor condition, while the roads shown in the video belong to Faridabad, Haryana.
The party has accused the BJP of breaching the Model Code of Conduct by engaging in “misinformation” and “false propaganda” to ‘mislead’ the public.
Advocate Kunal Raj, representing AAP said, “I am writing to bring to your attention a serious violation of the Model Code of Conduct by the BJP. The party has been spreading misinformation through a false video on their social media channels, showcasing roads in Delhi in a deplorable condition.”
The letter also reads that it has been exposed that the road featured in the video is actually located in Faridabad, Haryana. I have attached the link to the false video and the video exposing the truth, which clearly reveals the BJP’s attempt to mislead the public.
AAP has urged election authorities to take swift action against the BJP for what it described as an attempt to “misinform” the public and “tarnish” its image ahead of elections.
“This is a blatant violation of the Model Code of Conduct, which prohibits spreading misinformation and false propaganda. I request that you take immediate action against the BJP for this violation. The party’s actions are not only a violation of the Model Code of Conduct but also a threat to the integrity of the electoral process,” the letter read.
AAP urged the Chief Election Officer to seize the video and direct the BJP to remove the false video from their social media channels.
It also urged the CEO to take necessary legal action against BJP for violating the Model Code of Conduct and committing offences under Section 123(4) of the Representation of People Act, 1951, Section 340 of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita and Section 66 of the Information Technology Act.
