AAP Takes a Swipe at PM Modi: 'Like BJP in Delhi, His Teleprompter Also Failed' | Watch

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging his reliance on a teleprompter during speeches. In a viral video from a recent rally in Rohini, shared by AAP, the Prime Minister is seen pausing mid-speech, which the party claims was due to a teleprompter malfunction. AAP took a dig with the caption, “Like BJP in Delhi, Modi Ji's teleprompter also failed.” The exchange has added fuel to the ongoing political rivalry, with PM Modi firing back at AAP during the rally, accusing the Kejriwal-led government of failing Delhi and branding it an "AAP-da" (disaster). The political spat underscores the heated battle for Delhi’s governance. #AAPvsModi #TeleprompterRow #AAPda #PMModiSpeech #DelhiPolitics #ModiVsKejriwal #PoliticalJibe #BJPvsAAP #RohiniRally #AAPAttack #ModiUnderFire #DelhiGovernance #PoliticalBarbs #TeleprompterFail #IndiaPolitics ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.103~GR.121~
