NEW DELHI: On the last day of election campaign, AAP launched a satirical web offensive titled Amit Shah Ka Ulta Chashma to “combat the lies” being spread by BJP about AAP government. A website, amitshahkaultachashma.com, was also started to convey pictorially the “reality” of governance in Delhi before and after AAP came to office.
The website has seven images in “before and after” format. Through these pictures, AAP has sought to convey what the situation in Delhi was before AAP formed government and how things changed thereafter with launch of mohalla clinics and improvements in night shelters and playgrounds. There are also visuals of government schools and other initiatives.

Over the last few weeks, BJP has criticised the performance of Kejriwal government and claimed that it had failed on all counts. “The fact is that AAP has not only fulfilled the 70-point manifesto as promised in 2015, but also delivered much more,” AAP said in a statement on Thursday.
A party source said the idea behind the satirical campaign was that BJP was unable to see the development outcomes delivered by AAP because its “glasses are tainted.” This campaign suggested that despite the fact that AAP delivered on its promises, BJP was insistent on a negative campaign against it, they said.
The AAP campaign seeks to depict that it has worked hard to develop government schools by upgrading infrastructure, introducing a happiness curriculum and taking other initiatives, apart from creating a positive educational environment. The visuals showed how the “one-of-its-kind” mohalla clinics had brought about changes in the health infrastructure, besides communicating the initiative to increase streetlight cover in the city. It also talked of the endeavour to make Delhi a dark spot-free city and enhance the security of women, an AAP source said. Lastly, the visuals depicted the story of how AAP government had developed night shelters where the poor and homeless could comfortably spend nights, instead of sleeping in the open in the winter and rains, another source added.
