New Delhi, Feb 2 (IBNS): The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday accused the Centre’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of targeting its chief Arvind Kejriwal’s caste in a cartoon-based ad.

I showed the AAP chief threatening to disrupt the Republic Day parade one year and asking for a VIP pass for the next year’s parade. The BJP ad used the term “upadravi (rebellious) gotra”, media reports said.

“The BJP targeted my children in their ad but I kept quiet, didn't react... the BJP has been launching personal attacks on me through their ads. But today they referred to the entire Agarwal Samaj as 'Updravi',” Kejriwal said.

AAP leader Ashutosh also demanded saying that the BJP should withdraw the ad “within two hours and apologise or we will be forced to take action, will go to the EC.”
