BJP Demands Campaign Ban on AAP Leaders in Ludhiana Bypoll
A BJP leader wants to stop Arvind Kejriwal from campaigning in an upcoming election because he faces criminal charges.
He believes Kejriwal is trying to get into the Rajya Sabha through Punjab.
The BJP also wants the local government to resist pressure from Kejriwal, who is dealing with corruption accusations.
Several parties are competing in the election, including BJP, AAP, Congress, and SAD, and the election is for a seat that became vacant after the death of a sitting MLA.
