The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has informed Delhi election body that the 'morphed' video of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Chief and Member of Parliament (MP) dancing on the AAP's poll campaign song 'Lage Raho Kejriwal' was made by a party supporter not by a member.
AAP said in a reply after the poll body issued a notice to the party for violation of the Model Code of Conduct to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and sought its reply after it posted the video on its Twitter handle on January 11.
