Kejriwal, Amarinder Singh engage in Twitter war

New Delhi, Dec 29 (IBNS): With the Punjab election nearing, AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal and Congressman Amarinder Singh engaged themselves in a war of words over Twitter.

Following AAP's decision to appoint Jarnail Singh as an opponent of Punjab Chief Minister Prakash Singh Badal, Amarinder had tweeted it reeks of an 'underhand deal'.

"Jarnail’s nomination bid from Lambi shows AAP-SAD collusion to ensure Badal’s victory. Reeks of an underhand deal!" Singh's tweet read.

Hitting back at Singh, Kejriwal had posted, "Sir, r u fighting against Prakash Badal ji or sukhbir Badal or Majithia or safe seat?"

Reacting to it, the Congress candidate said that 'Badal's story is over' and challenged Kejriwal for a duel.

"Badals' story is over. You tell me where you're contesting from and I will come fight you there!" Singh tweeted.

Responding to the tweet, the Delhi Chief Minister asked if Singh is fighting him or the prevalent problem of drugs in Punjab.

"So, u r fighting me, not Badals/drugs. Badals also say they will fight against me. U n Badals wish to fight agnst me not agnst each other."

In his retaliation, Singh said, "I've defeated Jaitely-Majithia combine when you didn't even know a thing about Punjab. But tell us, why are you so scared of fighting me?"

Dismissing Singh's challenge as hollow, the AAP supremo posted, "I m not fighting punjab elex. So, ur challenge hollow. We r fighting Badals/Majithia, who sunk Punjab in drugs. N u r fighting us, not them?"

The Punjab election is scheduled for the first half of 2017.
