Delhi BJP leaders and workers including its Mahila Morcha activists staged a protest outside Aam Aadmi Party headquarters here on Friday, asking for removal of the AAP's Gujarat chief Gopal Italia. The AAP leaders have crossed all limits of decency as was exemplified by Italia through his "abusive" language targeting the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleged Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri.
"AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal should remove such leaders from the party and apologise to the countrymen for their foul language," Bidhuri said. The BJP leader said that Kejriwal did not once express resentment over the discourtesy of his workers and did not stop them from doing so. On the contrary, he is promoting Gopal Italia on social media. “Kejriwal should expel Gopal Italia and all other leaders like him from the party and apologize to the whole country for such comments. The people of Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh will express their anger against the AAP in the upcoming elections,” said LoP.On Friday, the BJP sharpened its attack on the AAP and Kejriwal after Italia was heard purportedly mocking the prime minister's mother in a video, and said people of the state will make it pay for "abusing" her.
The video was shared from the official Twitter handle of Gujarat BJP and Union minister Smriti Irani, where Italia can be heard calling the PM ‘neech aadmi’ (a lowly person).
Hitting out at “gutter mouth Gopal Italia”, Irani said he has been “judged” and that “people will deliver justice”.
“Arvind Kejriwal, gutter mouth Gopal Italia now abuse Hira Ba with your blessings. I proffer no outrage, I don’t want to show how indignant Gujaratis are but know this you have been judged & your party shall be decimated electorally in Gujarat. Now the people will deliver justice,” she tweeted.
