In its theme song “Lage Raho Kejriwal”, the Aam Aadmi Party has used the clippings of the songs of Bhojpuri films of Delhi BJP President and MP Manoj Tiwari which is being broadcast by AAP. In the tweet with the song, it has been written that “this song is so good that even Sir Manoj Tiwari is also dancing on it”. Taking cognizance of this, BJP has served a notice of defamation on AAP Convener Arvind Kejriwal and also demanded damages of 500 crore rupees. The Legal and Legislative Department of BJP has also made a complaint to the Election Commission in this context.
Delhi BJP President Shri Manoj Tiwari said that the falsehood of the head of AAP has completely been exposed. Kejriwal is giving a proof of his cheap politics by using the clippings and pictures of films which I had done as an artist previously. Who has given the right to Aam Aadmi Party to broadcast my photos in their theme song? Does not Kejriwal know that no one can use the photos of other artist in a commercial way without the permission? In view of his possible defeat in the Assembly Elections, he is so much frustrated that he is using photos and videos of children, workers, women in the advertisements. Actually AAP leaders and workers are completely disappointed because they are not getting support of the people. In the meetings of Kejriwal, people are not turning up in large numbers and hence people are being called from outside. Chief Minister of Delhi have crossed all the limits but reality has come before the people of Delhi, who will never forgive him?
Pradesh Media Co-Head informed that once again the AAP has used name and face of the songs and shots of the films of Delhi BJP President Manoj Tiwari who is also the superstar of Bhojpuri film industry and a brand in himself and had also tweeted a video on party’s official Tweeter Handle. The permission of the producer, director of the music videos of the film has not been taken which is violation of propriety rights. They have also tried to ridicule Shri Tiwari through these videos and BJP strongly condemns it. The AAP by using the face of Shri Manoj Tiwari in its theme song has made it clear that the people like Shri Tiwari more than Kejriwal and hence Kejriwal is using the face of Manoj Tiwari for his propaganda
