AAP’s Gul Panag and BJP’s Kirron Kher bicker on Twitter

As campaigning leading up to the election heats up, Bollywood stars Gul Panag and Kirron Kher took the AAP-BJP war to Twitter.

Hindustan Times reported that Panag, AAP's Chandigarh candidate, hit out at Kirron after it appeared that BJP supporters were publicising of a tweet where she had praised Modi. Panag took to Twitter to say that the tweet in question had been sarcastic and pointed out that Kirron's husband and actor Anupam Kher had lashed out at the BJP while supporting Anna Hazare.

Kirron Kher who is contesting polls as BJP candidate from Chandigarh is up against Panag, one of AAP's newest members. 

HT also reported that Anupam Kher stayed out of the war of tweets between the ladies, only retweeting his wife's tweets.

Recently, BJP activists greeted the Khers with black flags and eggs as they arrived in Chandigarh to commence campaigning. The protestors said that Kirron Kher was an outsider. They also attempted to disrupt her arrival at the BJP office there.
