Stepping up its attack on opposition parties, the Congress on Wednesday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of indulging in religious polarisation and asked the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to come clean on the funding row.

"The two fundamental questions which the BJP and AAP need to answer; for the BJP; the question is what they have done for this country in the last six months. And, the answer is nothing at all, except for religious polarisation there is nothing which they have done," Congress leader Manish Tewari told ANI.

"And, in so far as the Aam Aadmi Party is concerned which became an expert at throwing boulders at others, they need to answer from where the money has come. Whose is this money that has been deposited in your bank account?" he added.

Tewari said the people of Delhi must take fifteen years of development of the city under the stewardship of the Congress party within their purview.

The Congress, BJP and Aam Aadmi Party go head-to-head in the Delhi assembly polls scheduled to be held on February 7. The counting of votes will take place on February 10 while the last day of campaigning is February 5.
