The complaint has been filed on the direction of Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari at the North Avenue police station. The BJP alleged that Kejriwal has “violated the Model Code of Conduct by posting offensive election material on his Facebook wall” and “campaigning beyond the prescribed time through his social media handles”. 

Kejriwal on Friday had said the people of Delhi would risk their children’s lives if they voted for the BJP in the MCD polls. “If you vote for the BJP and if your child falls prey to chikungunya or dengue, you are responsible for it. I can offer free treatment to your child in (the Delhi government) hospitals, but what led to him or her to contract dengue?”

“If someone in your home falls ill, then you are responsible as you voted for the party which is synonymous to chikungunya, malaria, dengue and garbage,” Kejriwal was quoted as saying.

Ashish Talwar, AAP in-charge, Delhi, said, “Faced with 10 years of anti-incumbency and maladministration, the BJP’s entire campaign has centered around defaming CM Kejriwal. Now that the BJP’s campaign has failed miserably, they can see defeat staring it in the face. For us, this entire MCD election was based on issues such as garbage-free Delhi, corruption-free MCD and house tax maafi. On the other hand, the BJP was bereft of credibility and issues, and this complaint is merely one last desperate attempt to stay in the news.”
