As the Punjab Elections are coming closer, the political battleground has also gained some momentum. Punjab Congress leader Capt Amarinder Singh and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal exchanged ‘challenge’ tweets on Twitter.
All this started, when Kejriwal in his usual style, accused Amarinder Singh of using Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader and state Revenue Minister Bikram Singh Majithia “drug money” for his campaign.
To which Singh replied: Now that you’ve shot your mouth, don’t scoot like you typically do!Show courage & come for an open debate. Choose the time, place & platform
Kejriwal appeared as if he is accepting the channel, but he wanted his four party members to debate with the Singh!
“I accept ur challenge sir. I suggest 4 names- H S Phoolka, Jarnail Singh, Bhagwant or Gurpreet. Speaker, date, time, place of ur choice”
To which Capt shot back by Tweeting, Punjabis believe in leading from the front,not hiding behind others.Or have you already accepted that you can’t face me for a public debate?
To which Kejriwal came up with something that is hypothetical in Punjab’s election scenario. He offered to debate with Congress Supremos – Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. “I am not hiding behind anyone sir. I am ready for a debate with Rahul ji or Sonia ji anytime. Our punjab team will debate wid u.”
We are interested to see what Capt Singh will reply to this. Punjab state will go for elections along with UP, Uttarakhand and Manipur, early next year.
