Delhi Elections 2025: BJP accuses Arvind Kejriwal of using children for his 'cheap, dirty' politics

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has accused Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of exploiting children for political gain ahead of the 2025 Delhi elections. The controversy arose after a video surfaced showing children from a government school reciting a poem that criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi. BJP leaders, including Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva, condemned Kejriwal for allegedly using schoolchildren in his "cheap and dirty politics." They argue that this act not only violates the Election Commission's guidelines but also the Model Code of Conduct, which prohibits the use of children in political campaigns. The BJP has demanded an apology from Kejriwal and called for strict action against those responsible for involving children in political activities. Meanwhile, the AAP has not yet responded to these allegations.
