A Twitter account supporting the Aam Aadmi Party in Varanasi has suddenly turned against the party, with tweets mocking party leader Arvind Kejriwal, who is contesting against BJP's PM candidate Narendra Modi from the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat.

Till April 17, the tweets from the account @AAP_Varanasi promoted the AAP activities with nearly 1,300 followers, double than another pro-AAP account: @AAP_Banaras.

But the account, which was dormant for about 15 days, suddenly, from May 5, began sending tweets that took jibes at the party, with the sentences centered around the trending hashtag of the day #AAPKranti.

What was the compulsion of #AAPKranti supreme leader to stay in a Hanuman Temple Dharamshala ? Was his target brahmin vote bank ? ; Aam Aadmi Party (@AAP_Varanasi) May 8, 2014

Sample these: "We people in smaller cities and not from capital lead a much simpler lifestyle. We easily trust outsiders. We trusted #AAPKranti as well."

"After observing #AAPKranti we have concluded that this is the most rotten thing to have happened. They just exploit innocent people."

We would be deleting this account now that we are getting abuses from innocent followers of #AAPKranti . We pray they know the truth ; Aam Aadmi Party (@AAP_Varanasi) May 8, 2014

"All we can say is that #AAPKranti is just for personal gain, ambition , ego of some leaders in the party . They are hungry for power & fame"

"What was the compulsion of #AAPKranti supreme leader to stay in a Hanuman Temple Dharamshala? Was his target brahmin vote bank?"

"Even after filing nomination in Varanasi #AAPKranti leaders are discussing strategy of next Delhi assembly elections . No commitment for us"

"We would be deleting this account now that we are getting abuses from innocent followers of #AAPKranti. We pray they know the truth."

These tweets are in sharp contrast to the ones sent before May 5.

on 15th May we shall announce the most unique method of election campaign . Kejriwal will win with margin of 5 lac votes. Support AAP ; Aam Aadmi Party (@AAP_Varanasi) April 9, 2014

Like these: "Donate to AAP. Details on official website. Party needs money."

"The march has started today. Each step will lead us to victory. It is very important that Arvind ji campaigns here without break."

"On 15th May we shall announce the most unique method of election campaign. Kejriwal will win with margin of 5 lac votes. Support AAP"

"Need volunteers who can design Varanasi specific posters & EDM's for us. Please help. Also retweet among fellow AAP supporters."So what went wrong? Has the account been hacked or the person running it has turned against AAP?



On Thursday evening, the tweets were temporarily put behind a wall as AAP supporters began an offensive but soon the account was activated again.
