Delhi Chief Minister Atishi was visibly emotional as she addressed the media on Monday, reacting to BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri's controversial remarks about her past surname.

Ramesh Bidhuri, a BJP candidate from Kalkaji, sparked a political controversy with his comments regarding Atishi's name change. The remarks were made during a 'Parivartan Rally' in Rohini, which was also attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In response, Atishi questioned the ethics of such political tactics and urged Bidhuri to focus on his accomplishments during his decade-long tenure as MP, instead of targeting her family background for electoral gains.
