AAP supporters mock 'Gujarat development model', post gruesome image on Facebook

New Delhi: In view of the forthcoming polls in Varanasi, the Aam Aadmi Party has launched a massive campaign on social networking sites to pursue its larger political ambitions. Mocking Gujarat development model, a fake propaganda on social networking site Facebook has been carried out by AAP supporters ahead of polls. On a Facebook page titled "Main hu Aam Aadmi", which was created by Aam Aadmi Party supporters, on April 16 this year, AAP supporters have uploaded an imageof a gruesome incident, claiming that the incident had taken place in Modasa district of Gujarat, where a Dalit woman was allegedly set on fire by 14 youths. Whereas, the photograph states otherwise. The image, which has been picked by the page admin from a website Bubblenews.com, is of an incident, where some unidentified men were set on fire by angry mob. The photo caption threatens, "Ye hai Gujarat ka model. Gujarat me ek Dalit mahila ko zinda jalaya. yahi model pure desh me lagu kiya jaega. (This is Gujarat's model. In Gujarat, a Dalit woman was set on fire. The same model they are planning to replicate across the country)." When contacted at AAP's Kaushambi office, Sunil Kumar, AAP worker, who attended the call, said, "Our IT team runs "Main hu Aam Aadmi". You can contact our IT team for more information." So far, the controversial post has been shared by 448 people and counting. Earlier, the AAP convener Kejriwal, who has been campaigning against Modi in particular, had questioned Gujarat model of development. He also said that the model tomtommed by Narendra Modi was all bakwas (nonsense).
Whereas, BJP said the Aam Aadmi Party workers are "habitual liars" and that it was a 'fake propaganda' carried out by them.
Kejriwal, who received a support of Mukhtar Ansari recently, is campaigning hard to pursue his larger goals and give a tough fight to BJP PM candidate Narendra Modi in the Hindu heartland.
