New Delhi, April 15: 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.

Adityanath govt has completely failed to maintain Taj Mahal, alleges Akhilesh
Lucknow (PTI): Samajwadi Party supremo Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday raised questions over maintenance of the Taj Mahal in Agra and attacked the Yogi Adityanath government saying it should be a "living and active" example, not just a "monument".
Yadav, who shared a viral video in which a plant could be seen sprouting from the dome of the Taj Mahal, said the monument might develop cracks due to the roots.
In a post on X, he said, "The BJP government and its dormant departments have completely failed to maintain the Taj Mahal, the wonder that attracts tourists from all over the world."
Yadav went on to say, "There is a possibility of rusting of the metal of the urn on the main dome. Water is dripping from the main dome. There is news of plants growing in the dome. If the roots of trees like these grow, then the Taj Mahal may crack."
He also highlighted problems of monkey menace and water logging in the Taj Mahal complex.
"The Taj Mahal complex has become a sanctuary for monkeys. There is a problem of waterlogging in the Taj Mahal complex. The tourists are worried whether they should admire the Taj Mahal or deal with the problems," Yadav said, adding due to all these reasons, the country's image is tarnished at the global level.
Last week, the main dome of the Taj witnessed water seepage due to incessant rains but officials said there was no damage to the arched roof.
Yadav asked where crores of rupees of funds that come for the maintenance of Taj Mahal are going.
"The government should be a living and active example, not just a monument," he added.
