AAP, BJP spar over 'Manish Chacha' campaign

THE AAP on Friday launched a social media campaign, called ‘Manish Chacha’, by posting messages, purportedly penned by the school children, seeking early release of former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who has been arrested by the CBI in the liquor scam.

AAP leaders, including MP Raghav Chada, state ministers and other top functionaries, tweeted messages, purportedly written by children studying in Delhi government schools in favour of Sisodia.

“Children’s love for their Manish Chacha is growing all over Delhi, BJP people, no matter how many false allegations you make, the love of Delhi children for Manish Sisodia cannot be shaken,” AAP MLA Atishi tweeted.
