Lok Sabha Elections 2019 Live Updates: Gautam Gambhir Circulated 'Derogatory Pamphlet' On Atishi, Claims AAP

The AAP held a press conference in Delhi today.

The Aam Aadmi Party today accused BJP candidate Gautam Gambhir of circulating "derogatory" pamphlets on AAP leader Atishi. AAP, in a series of tweets, said, "If you have the strength, do read this pamphlet of BJP's Gautam Gambhir being distributed in East Delhi societies".

The war of words between the political parties has turned ugly just days ahead of the sixth phase of national elections on Sunday. 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier this morning took a jab at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee saying "even your slap will be a blessing." He was responding to a remark by Ms Banerjee on Monday. 

PM Modi is also scheduled to hold rallies in UP today. "Both Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal are witnessing great support towards BJP," PM Modi tweeted this morning ahead of his public meetings. The Prime Minister said he looks to take forward the NDA's "development agenda" to locals in the said cities through these rallies.

A day after PM Modi held an election rally in Delhi's Ramlila Maidan and continued his attack against the Gandhi family, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi will be addressing the public at the same venue. His sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will also hold poll rallies in UP in Pratapgarh, Jaunpur and Sultanpur.
