In a sharp critique, BJP leader Gaurav Bhatia accused the Aam Aadmi Party of exploiting children for political gains, as seen in a video on social media platform X featuring children supporting AAP. Bhatia declared this act a breach of the Juvenile Justice Act 2015 and the Election Commission's rules.

The video, initially uploaded by Chief Minister Atishi on December 29, was later shared by AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal. The Delhi BJP intensified their opposition by displaying provocative posters at their office criticizing AAP's decade-long governance and accused Kejriwal of corrupt practices.

The BJP's posters harshly labeled AAP leaders Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, and Satyendra Jain as "Bhrashtaachaar Ke Tees Maar Khaan." They claimed Kejriwal benefitted from a liquor scam, and accused Sisodia of illicitly advancing liquor policy reforms during secret meetings with business figures. With Delhi elections on the horizon, these tensions highlight the rising political rivalry.
