However, Kumar Vishwas denied making any sexist remark. “Let BJP prove that I made any such remark,” he was quoted by Hindustan Times as saying.
At a rally in Delhi, Vishwas had said, “Two problems BJP has with Arvind Kejriwal. One is that he wears a muffler… has he snatched from you and worn? One of them says he coughs a lot….. what is your problem? Do you have to sleep with him in his bedroom or what?”
Vishwas shared a video of the rally and said that he made no statement on Kiran Bedi.
Apart from the complaint to the Election Commission, Kiran Bedi tweeted that she had filed a police complaint against Vishwas for the ‘sexist’ comments.

The BJP’s chief ministerial candidate also condemned the AAP’s ‘derogatory sexist remarks and illegal photo shopped images’ as unethical, toxic and perverse and said the party can’t talk about women safety after such remarks.

Meanwhile, BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain also called AAP ‘anti-women’ and said that the party will file an FIR against AAP.
Bedi had earlier sent a legal notice to her rival Arvind Kejriwal for using her images in AAP’s posters without her permission.
