AAP spokesperson and MLA Saurabh Bhardwaj dared Chandni Chowk MLA Alka Lamba to join Congress in a Twitter war on Tuesday.

New Delhi: In a Twitter war, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA and spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj has dared the Chandni Chowk MLA Alka Lamba to join Congress on Tuesday. The Twitter war began when MLA Lamba reacted to the manifesto of the Congress party released on Tuesday afternoon.

She tweeted in Hindi saying every party has its manifesto and the Congress in its manifesto promised full statehood for Puducherry but nothing on Delhi.

"This is clear that statehood for Delhi is not an issue for the Congress. On the other hand, the AAP making it the main issue. How will the alliance take place?" she asked.

Responding to the tweet, Bhardwaj, MLA of Greater Kailash, asked her what does she want, "full statehood or..?"

On that, she said it did not matter what she wanted, it was the public who would decide.

A series of tweets went on after which Lamba accused Bhardwaj of provoking her.

"Am just a party worker and he is a party leader and spokesperson... Being a spokesperson what message he wants to give? This is not the first time that he is doing so on social media," she said.

Lamba said she would hold a public meeting at Jama Masjid on Wednesday for a live survey. Bhardwaj then tweeted a letter addressed to AAP convenor in which Lamba had resigned from the party.

"Ask the people should I join the Congress. If peopleagree, just sign this and your brother will take care of everything. If the public says no, then stay in discipline," he said. Alka also invited Bhardwaj for the public meeting and survey.
