Modi for PM, Arvind for CM slogan backfires on AAP website : North, News - India Today
In what could be considered a major political faux pa, the Aam Aadmi Party on Friday put a banner on its website with an unambiguous message: 'Delhi Speaks: Modi for PM, Arvind for CM'.
The party later removed the image from the homepage of its website, but hundreds of messages on Twitter and Facebook ridiculing the party for its clear endorsement of India's Prime Minister showed that the damage was done. 
"AAP shamelessly using Namo's picture on its website as a crutch to sell itself. Sad really," said a tweet. "Aaj 'Hail Modi' & before Gen Elections it was 'Jail Modi'", said another.
"I'm willing to bet almost anything that #AAP will claim its website was hacked," a third tweet said. There was no reaction from the party on Twitter, where chief
Arvind Kejriwal is pretty active.
The AAP even had a statement on the site, which was also removed along with the image. The statement said, "The voters in Delhi have decided. They want a strong Prime Minister which is why they elected Narendra Modi. They now want a strong Chief Minister so that issues like corruption, inflation, better schools, transport and hospitals could be resolved. They want Arvind Kejriwal again."

AAP Blames 'Modi for PM, Arvind for CM' Poster on 'Mischief by Outsider'
NEW DELHI: A poster saying "Delhi Speaks - Modi for PM, Arvind for CM" made a brief but much talked about appearance on the website of Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party on Friday. The party claims it was "mischief" by an outsider.
"It looks like some mischief; someone intruded our website, we are investigating the matter," said AAP leader Ashutosh.
The poster, with images of Mr Kejriwal and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, vanished from the site as AAP faced adverse comments on social media from critics. Some called the party "desperate" for using PM Modi in their campaign.
Hours before the phrase appeared on AAP's website, Mr Kejriwal told NDTV, "People I meet in Delhi are saying Modi for PM, Kejriwal for Chief Minister."
The battle, he added, "is between (BJP's) Jagdish Mukhi and Kejriwal, not Modi and Kejriwal."
The two leaders were last pitted against each other during the April-May national election at Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, where Mr Modi defeated the AAP chief with a massive margin of 3.7 lakh votes.
The BJP has announced that it will not project a chief ministerial candidate in Delhi, a strategy that has paid off in Maharashtra and Haryana, where the party fashioned its campaigns around what it perceives as the "Modi magic". Some in the BJP believe the party should not risk pitching a "weak chief ministerial face" against Mr Kejriwal, the man who last governed Delhi after a spectacular election debut a year ago.
Mr Kejriwal alleges that the BJP is setting up an "artificial battle" to make the Delhi polls seem like a face-off between him and PM Modi. "They are trying to do fraud on the people of Delhi....Modi will not run the city, it will be handed over to somebody else," he told NDTV on Thursday.
