Amid row over his remark on Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Ramesh Bidhuri stoked another controversy on Sunday, saying Delhi Chief Minister and AAP leader Atishi “changed her father".

Bidhuri, who is pitted against Atishi from the Kalkaji assembly seat in the upcoming assembly polls, was addressing a public gathering in the national capital.

“This Marlena (Atishi) became Singh. She changed her name. Arvind Kejriwal swore on his children not to align with the corrupt Congress. Marlena changed her father. This reflects the character of the Aam Aadmi Party," Bidhuri said.

He further attacked the Delhi CM saying that her parents submitted a mercy petition against the death sentence of terrorist Afzal Guru.

“Atishi Marlena’s parents submitted a mercy petition against the death sentence of Afzal Guru, the terrorist responsible for the deaths of many of our brave soldiers. I want to ask the people of Delhi whether they want to support those who sought a pardon for Guru’s death sentence," he added.

Earlier in the day, Bidhuri said that if the party comes to power in the polls, it will build “roads like Priyanka Gandhi’s cheeks" in Kalkaji constituency.
