BJP candidate complains against AAP for misbehaviour

New Delhi, Feb 7 (IBNS) BJP's candidate from New Delhi constituency Nupur Sharma on Saturday alleged that an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) worker "pushed her around" when she tried to stop their illegal campaigning during polling.

Sharma, who contests the poll against AAP chief Arvind Kejriwa, said the incident took place at the Rao Tula Ram Marg centre in Sangli.

She alleged that AAP workers  also pushed her sister.

"As a candidate, I will stop any illegal style of campaigning, which is against model code of conduct," Sharma told reporters.

She said the man who pushed her wearing a sweat shirt with Arvind Kejriwal's picture on it.

"When I demanded him to remove the sweat shirt, he was rude. So I decided to complain to the police. When the police got active, he took off his shirt and gave it to a woman to hide it. The man then pushed my sister. I don't know what kind of behaviour it is," Sharma said.

"This is no way to behave with a girl. How dare he touch women? The man said he can do whatever he wants. I have demanded an apology from anti-aurat party colleagues," she added.

Denying her allegation  AAP leader Raghav Chadda said that it was "an attempt to gain sympathy."
