New Delhi : The war of words between Arvind Kejriwal and Amarinder Singh turned ugly on Twitter on Monday after the Delhi Chief Minister accused the Punjab Congress chief of using an Akali leader’s “drug money” to fund his election campaign and the latter shot back, saying the AAP leader was “hallucinating” and challenged him to a debate
While Kejriwal accused Amarinder of using “drug money” of Akali leader Bikramjit Majithia and then asked why the BJP was out to defend him, the state Congress chief hit back, saying the Delhi CM would next claim US’ Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was conspiring with him (Amarinder) against the AAP leader.
“Sir, ppl talking in Punjab that u using Majithia’s drug money in ur campaign. Is it true? U had saved him from CBI enquiry 3 yrs back,”(sic) Kejriwal tweeted.
Majithia is Punjab’s Revenue Minister and brother-in-law of deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal, whom AAP has accused of partonising the drug mafia, a charge rejected by him.
Kejriwal rejected Amarinder’s challenge to have a debate with him and instead suggested a panel of AAP Punjab leaders for it. He, however, agreed to debate with Sonia Gandhi or Rahul Gandhi after he was accused of “hiding behind others” by Amarinder.–PTI
