BJP's East Delhi candidate Gautam Gambhir on Friday raised eyebrows when he allegedly got a  "lookalike" to campaign for him as he had a "problem with the heat".  Pictures of the cricketer-turned-politician seated inside an AC car, while a "duplicate" stood at the sunroof wearing a cap and was garlanded by BJP workers, were gleefully tweeted by AAP leaders, including  Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.

 A day after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) alleged that Gambhir was behind a controversial pamphlet containing abusive language against party candidate Atishi, Sisodia in tweets alleged that Gambhir had got a face double to campaign for him in the capital.

The AAP leader alleged that the "lookalike" was in fact a Congress leader.

 “This is the Congress-BJP mahamilavat. Gautam Gambhir is sitting inside his AC car. He has a problem with the heat.  In his place, his duplicate is standing at the car sunroof wearing a cap. Party workers, thinking the duplicate is Gautam Gambhir, are garlanding him. And the person who is the duplicate, is actually a Congress man,” said Sisodia, in Hindi.

 

Sisodia retweeted AAP leader Ankit Lal’s tweet on the same issue.

Lal in a sarcasm-laced tweet said: “Have heard of a stunt double in films, in cricket have heard of a runner. This is the first time I have seen a campaign duplicate!”

 

Another tweet went, "Guess who is the real Gautam Gambhir! The one being garlanded by the public, or the one sitting inside in a "gambhir mudra" (serious face)."
