BJP has crossed all limits of shamelessness: Kejriwal after Bidhuri’s remark on Atishi

BJP's Kalkaji candidate Ramesh Bidhuri on Sunday courted yet another controversy, targeting this time Delhi Chief minister Atishi over her surname.

Speaking at the BJP's 'Parivartan Rally' in Rohini that was later addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Bidhuri said Atishi had changed her surname from "Marlena" to "Singh".

Atishi, who is the sitting MLA from Kalkaji seat, had dropped her surname a while back.

"This Marlena (surname used earlier by Atishi) became Singh, changed name. Kejriwal swore over his children not to go with the corrupt Congress. Marlena changed father. Earlier she was Marlena, now she has become Singh. This is their character," Bidhuri said.

As the video of Bidhuri's speech showed up on the internet, AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal lashed at the BJP saying its leaders had crossed all limits of "shamelessness".

"BJP leaders are hurling abuses at Delhi chief minister Atishi ji. Delhi people will not tolerate the insult of a woman chief minister. All the women in Delhi will take a revenge of this," he said in a post on X.

The AAP in a statement said Bidhuri's "abusive remarks" against a woman chief minister exposed the BJP's "anti-women" mindset.
