Gambhir: Prove it and I will withdraw from race

May 09, 2019 16:21

BJP's Gautam Gambhir reacts to Atishi Marlena's presser on the pamphlet allegedly released by his party. Gambhir who is pitted against AAP's Marlena in East Delhi said he was ashamed to have a CM like Arvind Kejriwal.

He then challenges Kejriwal and Atishi saying, "I declare that if its proven that I did it, I will withdraw my candidature right now. If not, will you quit politics? I abhor your act of outraging a woman's modesty @ArvindKejriwal and that too your own colleague. And all this for winning elections? U r filth Mr CM and someone needs ur very own jhadu to clean ur dirty mind."

Atishi broke down today while reading a pamphlet containing "obscene and derogatory" remarks against her that she claimed has been distributed in the constituency by her BJP rival Gautam Gambhir.

No immediate reaction was received from Gambhir. Atishi, who was accompanied by Deputy Delhi Chief Minister Manish Sisodia during a press conference, broke down as she read out the pamplet in front of reporters.

She said she had welcomed Gambhir, a former cricketer, when he entered politics but now the BJP has stooped to an unexpected level.
