The BJP on Thursday accused the Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi of insulting "women and sportspersons" by allegedly targeting CWG medal-winner, Divya Kakran.

BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said that the AAP social media team trolled Kakran and its leader Saurabh Bharadwaj "insultingly" asked her to show a certificate after she complained about not being given any financial benefits from the government led by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Poonawalla said at a press conference that Kakran then produced a certificate regarding her representing Delhi and alleged that the AAP has a history of insulting those who raise the honour of the national flag whether soldiers or sportspersons.

He asked Kejriwal to sack Bharadwaj from all positions in the party.

The BJP spokesperson also took an aim at Kejriwal for his counter-offensive on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's repeated criticism of "revdi culture" (freebies), saying no one was named by Modi but the AAP leader sprang to defend it due to his sense of guilt.

"While the Modi government has engaged in welfarism by empowering different deprived sections of society with targeted schemes, political parties engaged in offering 'revdi' to everyone ahead of elections without caring if such schemes can be implemented or not," he said.
