"Isn't it interesting that Amit Shah even after winning such a big mandate is responding to this 'chhotu, makkhi party' (small fry) like ours," AAP's Abhinandita Mathur remarked.
Political sparring over the Gujarat election result saw some lighter moments when an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) spokesperson described her party as "chhotu makkhi party", inspiring a sharp comeback from a BJP leader.
AAP spokesperson Abhinandita Mathur was responding to Union Home Minister Amit Shah's comment that the Gujarat verdict is the "victory of those who work on the ground and a rejection of those who promise freebies" - a clear jibe at Arvind Kejriwal's party.
"Isn't it interesting that Amit Shah even after winning such a big mandate is responding to this 'chhotu, makkhi party' (small fry) like ours," Ms Mathur remarked.
Was that how AAP sees itself nationally, as a "chhotu makkhi party", she was asked.
