Twitter spat is the new in thing. On Thursday, it was AAP MLA Saurabh Bhardwaj and BJP member Kapil Mishra engaging in one on the micro-blogging site.

After Bhardwaj demanded a narco test of Mishra, for allegedly inciting riots in parts of northeast Delhi through his speech, Mishra agreed to one, provided Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and AAP leaders Sanjay Singh and Amanatullah Khan also agree to take the test.

The AAP leader shot back saying: "Kapil Mishra and Tahir Hussain are accused of inciting a riot. They both should get tested. By saying bring this person, bring that person he (Kapil Mishra) is making excuses."

He added, "Leave Tahir (Hussain), I will take the test with you".

The heat on Twitter soared as Mishra responded, ""Kejriwal, Sanjay Singh and Amanatullah get narco test of all three done together, if they don't get scared and flee then I am also ready to get tested".

In another tweet, he accused the AAP leaders of being arrogant.

Responding to Bhardwaj's taunt about he losing the Assembly election, Mishra said: "Yes, I am out on the roads even after losing the election, not hiding behind rioters like AAP".

Delhi witnessed massive violence in its northeast area from February 23 that killed 53 so far including a Delhi Police head constable on duty and an IB staffer.

Both the AAP and the BJP have accused each other of fomenting the violence. IANS
