TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ The BJP has released a video which makes a reference to “Yuvraj” to apparently target Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi, after the Election Commission barred the party from using the word “Pappu” in an electronic advertisement for the upcoming polls in the state.
The latest advertisement, released today on the Facebook page of Gujarat BJP, after getting a clearance from the Election Commission (EC), uses the word “Yuvraj” (prince) to target the Congress leader.
While “Pappu” is perceived as a social media slur coined to target Gandhi, BJP leaders frequently taunt the Congress scion with words like “Yuvraj” or “Shahzada”.
The BJP and opposition Congress have been targeting each other’s leaders by putting up mocking advertisements on social media with a growing frequency. Gujarat goes to polls on December 9 and December 14.
