Gautam’s selection in the star campaigner list drew strong criticism from BJP as the latter slammed the AAP for ‘promoting’ hatred towards Hindus.
Rajendra Pal Gautam got mired in major controversy after he was accused of facilitating religious conversion of Hindus to Buddhism. In the video that viral, he was seen on stage taking oath with about 10,000 people that none will worship Hindu lords & deities from now onwards.
The then AAP minister had to resign as minister as the controversy escalated and the party anticipated some damage in upcoming polls.
Meanwhile, the BJP has taken strong umbrage over his selection in AAP’s campaigners list. Firing fresh salvo, the saffron party said that the AAP wants to befool people, Hindus in particular and its slanted agenda will be ‘exposed’ before people.
