New Delhi, July 6 -- AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal's "who are you" remarks targeting BJP president Nitin Nabin have triggered a fresh political slugfest between the two parties, with Chief Minister Rekha Gupta saying her predecessor's "ego was still riding high". Kejriwal had taken a swipe at the BJP president after he targeted opposition leaders, including the former Delhi chief minister, for remaining silent over "insult" of Hindu deities
Throwing her weight behind Nabin, Gupta noted that he had represented Bihar's Bankipur Assembly constituency for four consecutive terms, risen through the ranks from a Yuva Morcha worker and was now a Rajya Sabha member. Claiming that Kejriwal was "desperate and disheartened", Gupta alleged in a post on X on Sunday night that," His ego was still riding high in the seventh heaven".
Noting that then West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee had once asked, "Who is Amit Shah?", she said, "Time answers every question and even Ravana's arrogance could not survive." AAP leader and Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Atishi said BJP leaders, who had objected to the alleged insult of Nabin, were silent over what she described as an "insult" to Lord Bajrang Bali. Referring to a video from Nabin's rally in which a child dressed as Lord Hanuman was seen dancing, she questioned whether BJP leaders
had the courage to speak against it as well.
