The Aam Aadmi Party was today caught on the wrong foot after one of its supporters was seen throwing wads of notes into the air to celebrate the victory of their party's candidate Nand Kishor Beniwal winning a seat in the Delhi Cantonment Board polls.

Aam Aadmi Party was today caught on the wrong foot after one of its supporters was seen throwing wads of notes into the air to celebrate the victory of their party's candidate Nand Kishor Beniwal winning a seat in the Delhi Cantonment Board polls.

Beniwal, however, said he was unaware about who threw money and he has not supported any such celebrations.

Caught on tape, the AAP, banking on the aam aadmi's vote, was quick to suspend the entire group of supporters with spokesperson Atishi Marlena claiming their celebratory act was against the principles of the party.

Party leader Ashutosh also clarified that the party did not endorse any such celebrations. "We dont approve of it, we have ordered a probe into this," he told news agency ANI.

The BJP, not missing the opportunity to take on its biggest challenger in the 7 February polls, hit out at the party for mocking the aam aadmi.

"Now if they charge so much for tea (fund raisers) where will the money go?" Delhi BJP chief Satish Upadhyay told ANI.

While BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra claimed that what the AAP supporters were doing was "against Indian culture," his party, too, had its fair share of controversy. Madhya Pradesh BJP MLA Aanchal Sonkar was seen violating the model code of conduct in a similar fashion, throwing notes in the air while breaking into a quick dance at an Eid Milan programme in Raddi Chowki area of the state in 2013.

Sensing that the controversy could affect its prospects if the incidents ends up in a full-blown controversy, AAP's social media team went on an overdrive on Twitter, pushing out updates on what their manifesto could well promise. #AAP4DelhiSolutions Tweets

From targetting the Modi government over its supposed U-turns to promising a 50 percent reduction in power tariffs, AAP supporters and volunteers ensured that #AAP4DelhiSolutions trended through the day.

With the Election Commission declaring dates for the state assembly polls, the battle, now virtually between the AAP and BJP, is only going to get bitter in the coming days.
