BJP legislator Harsh R Sanghavi brought out a picture showing Fatta with cricketer-turned-politician Azharuddin and questioned Congress on it.
"Afroz Phatta with Congressi Leader @azhrudeen will Congress answer what's there connection with him?," Sanghavi tweeted.
His tweet, along with the picture of the two, was retweeted by Modi's confidante and BJP leader Amit Shah but deleted the same from his twitter account soon thereafter.
Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala came out with the CD claiming Fatta to be a "well known BJP supporter and a protege of Modi".
