A complaint has been filed against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Delhi for alleged misuse of the party’s symbol, the lotus. The complaint has been filed with the Chief Election Commissioner, a BJP leader said on Wednesday.

“The AAP, which is planning to contest the Delhi assembly elections, is demeaning the lotus symbol in its hoardings in the city,” alleged the BJP.

“To gain cheap publicity at the cost of other political parties, the AAP in its hoardings and posters is demeaning and deprecating the BJP’s lotus symbol. This is highly objectionable. It is utterly disrespectful,” said the letter to Chief Election Commissioner VS Sampath.

The letter also alleged that the AAP was spoiling Delhi’s “dignified political culture by using malicious campaign against rivals.”
