It’s Capt Amarinder Singh versus Arvind Kejriwal on the World Wide Web. The twitteratti has once against witnessed a virtual war between the two leaders challenging each other ahead high-octane Punjab polls, scheduled for February 4.
Stealing the show was Punjab Congress president Capt Amarinder Singh’s tweet calling Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party’s head Arvind Kejriwal a “sneaky little fellow”.
As Kejriwal twittered that the Patiala Royal was all set to “lose his own constituency” in the upcoming Punjab Assembly polls, Capt Amarinder challenged AAP leader to take him on, calling
him a “sneaky little
fellow”.
Kejriwal’s taunt came in a tweet, in which he said that he had campaigned in Amarinder's constituency. “Today campaigned in Captain Amrinder’s constituency. Huge public support. Captain will lose his own election this time.”
Responding, Capt Amarinder tweeted, “If you are so sure, why don't you come and fight meIJ You sneaky little fellow!”
Not bogging down, Kejriwal, in Hindi, tweeted that Capt Amarinder is frustrated because the Congress is disintegrating and losing its dominance, and asked how the party expects to do well in the upcoming elections when it's unable to give tickets to its members.
Capt Amarinder shot back, saying that the Delhi CM was “hallucinating”. “With your dream of winning Punjab down in dumps, such hallucination is quite understandable”.
This isn't the first time the two leaders have faced off on social media.
In December, Kejriwal asked the Punjab Congress chief if he was contesting against Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, State deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal, Sukhbir's brother-in-law Bikram Majithia or from a “safe seat”.
