The spat between the two leaders started with talk of Arvind Kejriwal's visit to the state for a political rally.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has reiterated his defamation threat against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who visited the northeastern state today. He also said he would visit Delhi, but instead of accepting the Chief Minister's invite to show him around, he said he would only go to places he can "google myself".
The spat between the two leaders started with talk of Mr Kejriwal's visit to the state for a political rally.
Besides winning in Delhi and Punjab, Mr Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party has made inroads in BJP-ruled Goa and Gujarat. Assam appears to be on his list as well, besides Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh where elections are due this year.
Last evening, Mr Sarma had called the Delhi Chief Minister a "coward hiding behind the veil of immunity in Delhi assembly and uttering white lies".
