A war of words started Wednesday between the Delhi units of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Congress with both mocking the political influence of each other.
AAP leader Sanjay Singh asked Delhi Congress president Ajay Maken to have control over his party or it could again lose deposits in the election. The Congress leaders retaliated pointing to the "AAP getting less votes than NOTA" in recent Assembly elections.
The slanging match began with Delhi Maken tweeting a news report and quoting, "Rajiv Gandhi Bharat Ratna resolution: AAP may have jeopardised possible 2019 alliance with Congress."
Singh, who is a Rajya Sabha MP of the AAP, tweeted in reply to Maken, "Ajay ji control your party. If you behave like this then Congress will again lose its deposit. By the way, having so much pride despite getting zero seats (in Delhi) could be learnt from Maken."
