Top BJP leaders are reportedly upset over a campaign advertisement published in newspapers yesterday which mocked Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal for taking the support of the Congress to form government after the last election in December, 2013.
BJP sources have said that the party has sent out clear instructions to its units to focus only on positive campaigning. The instructions were sent out after senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley and Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who is among the central ministers assigned to micromanage Delhi elections, changed the tone of party's ad campaign, sources said.

The ad published yesterday was slammed by AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal who tweeted to say that BJP should apologise for "killing Anna".
"Nathuram Godse killed Gandhiji on this day in 1948. BJP has killed Anna in its ad today. Shudn't BJP apologise?" Arvind Kejriwal said in the tweet yesterday.
Delhi votes for a new government on February 7. The results will be declared on February 10.
