AAP, Congress trying to spread riots: Manoj Tiwari

Delhi BJP President Manoj Tiwari on Sunday accused the AAP and the Congress of trying to "defame" his party and alleged that they were disturbing the country's social fabric.

Addressing the media along with Union Minister Prakash Javadekar, Tiwari said: "The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Congress are trying to defame the BJP. They are trying to break the social fabric of the society."

He said that development was not an agenda for the two parties.

"They cannot compare themselves with the development work of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and they are always trying to spread riots in Delhi and in the country," he alleged.

The BJP MP alleged that in east Delhi "on the occasion of Ramnavmi, a group people, passed in front of a mosque, stopped there and raised slogans of Jai Shri Ram.

"Two people from that group have been identified as AAP leaders Nandlal Kannaujiya and Manish whose pictures are available on the social media with several senior leaders of the party," he added.

"Thanks to the people of Delhi and the residents of that colony where the incident happened, they didn't react. Otherwise something worse would have happened," he said.
