BJP ad campaign in Jharkhand deplorably communal: Mehbooba
Srinagar: The Peoples DP President, Mehbooba Mufti, has denounced the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for putting out an advertisement ahead of elections in Jharkhand, India, which she termed as deplorably communal and against the secular fabric of the nation.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the advertisement was posted on the X handle of BJP’s Jharkhand unit but was removed after the Election Commission directed its state poll chief to direct the party to take down the post.
“This advertisement being deplorably communal contradicts the foundational ideals and secular fabric of the nation that they choose to be part of. Pure poison,” she said.
The polling for the second phase is scheduled to be held on Wednesday.
