A video of an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate in Gujarat has gone viral, causing anger among Hindu voters in the state. In the clip, the candidate states that once an AAP government is formed, people will be free to build mazars and mosques on roads without fear of demolition. He also suggests that encroaching on roads for shops will be permitted, with the administration not intervening. The remarks are seen as a direct appeal to a specific voter base and have sparked a political controversy during the election season.
