New Delhi: Congress leader Alka Lamba tried slapping an AAP worker near Majnu ka Tila, which led to a fight between workers of both parties. Lamba, who is Congress candidate from Chandni Chowk, was talking to a person outside a polling booth when the AAP worker allegedly passed some remarks against her.

Senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh has said the party would complain to the Election Commission (EC) regarding the incident.
 
Lamba won from Chandni Chowk Assembly seat on AAP ticket and later joined the Congress. She is now contesting on Congress ticket against AAP's PS Sawhney and Ravinder Gupta from the BJP.
