Kejriwal has been making allegations against Congress and Akalai Dali ever since the Aam Aadmi Party announced to contest elections in Punjab. Recently, the AAP chief accused the Congress’ Punjab CM hopeful of using “drug money” in his campaign.
“Sir, ppl talking in Punjab that u using (Bikram Singh) 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.
Singh put out a stinging response to Kejriwal, saying he was “hallucinating” and seeing things that “don’t exist”. Singh also dismissed AAP’s challenge in Punjab saying Kejriwal as somebody who make statements to grab headlines.
The two leaders have been increasingly trading barbs on Twitter as the Assembly election nears.
