Watch: Vote Congress But Not AAP, Says Punjab BJP Chief, Then Clarifies

The Punjab BJP chief has now played down those remarks, blaming it on faulty understanding.

If you are not voting for the BJP, vote for the Congress, but certainly not the Aam Aadmi Party, the Punjab BJP chief had said at a poll campaign rally. Today, Ashwani Sharma blamed it on a "twisted" interpretaion of his comments as the undated video surfaced on social media, a day before Punjab votes.

"A vote for AAP means a vote for terrorism. A vote to break Punjab. Any person who votes for AAP will be betraying thecountry and Punjab. If you don't want to vote for us (BJP), vote for Congress. But don't vote for somebody who betrays the country," said Ashwani Sharma.
