New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) launched a satirical protest in the streets of Delhi on Tuesday, mocking the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its inability to name a Chief Ministerial candidate ahead of the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. Led by AAP senior leader Sanjay Singh and former Delhi Mayor Dr. Shelly Oberoi, the event featured a procession titled “Bin Dulhe Ki Baraat” (a groom-less wedding procession), with participants raising slogans like “Who is BJP’s groom?” and “Who dares to face Kejriwal?” as drums rolled and a horse galloped empty.
The protest highlighted AAP’s criticism of the BJP’s leadership crisis, with the procession symbolising the party’s failure to present a clear leader for Delhi. “This is the BJP’s reality in Delhi, a groom-less procession. The horse is ready, but there’s no one to mount it,”
Sanjay Singh stated, referring to the BJP’s confusion over its CM candidate.
Singh took aim at the BJP’s infighting after Ramesh Bidhuri’s name was floated as the party’s CM face. “As soon as Ramesh Bidhuri’s name was floated as BJP’s CM candidate, infighting began among their leaders,” Singh said, pointing out that some BJP leaders, like Parvesh Verma, began to challenge Bidhuri’s candidacy. “Now we are hearing that Ramesh Bidhuri is saying, ‘No, I am not the candidate,’” he added, further exposing the rift within the BJP.
