Taking on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal after Shaheen Bagh shooter Kapil Baisala was identified as an Aam Aadmi Party worker by police, Bharatiya Janata Party chief J P Nadda on Tuesday said it exposed the party and Kejriwal who were playing with the country's security.
The AAP hit back, questioning the police investigation.
In a series of tweets, Nadda said people of the country and Delhi today have seen the 'dirty face' of AAP.
'For political longing, Kejriwal and his people even sold the security of the country. Earlier, Kejriwal used to insult the Army and advocate terrorists, but today relations with those who carry out their terrorist activities came to light,' he said.
Nadda said he wanted to make it clear to Kejriwal that this country is bigger than any election, any government, and 'this nation will not forgive those who play with its security.
'Kejriwal and his entire team have been exposed. The people of Delhi will give a befitting reply'.
He claimed the entire country has seen 'photos of Imam Hussain, the MLA and former minister of the Delhi government, with a radical terrorist organisation, PFI (Popular Front of India)'.
Days before Delhi goes to polls, police claimed that Baisala is a member of the AAP. They said Baisala joined the party in early 2019 along with his father.
Police said it had photos of Baisala purportedly joining AAP along with his father Gaje Singh last year.
AAP's Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh alleged that photos which were part of investigation were leaked to the BJP.
He also said the party will approach the Election Commission to raise this issue, which has cropped up four days before the polling date.
"On whose instance, the police is giving statement? How did the photos which were part of the investigation reach the BJP? Before the news came out, Manoj Tiwari in the morning stated that the accused was from AAP. How did Manoj Tiwari get this news," Singh questioned in a press conference.
Union minister and BJP's in-charge for the Delhi polls, Prakash Javadekar, in a press conference alleged that 'their (AAP's) designs are very clear from the beginning and they are trying every trick'.
The whole conspiracy of AAP is to 'divide society, cause fear in a community and create a vote bank', he charged.
Javadekar also claimed that photos of Baisala were recovered by police from his mobile phone although they were erased.
He also claimed that Baisala and his father were welcomed by Sanjay Singh at their joining of AAP.
"This proves AAP misleads youth and pushes them on the wrong path. AAP's strategy is to divide two communities, they want to instigate riots in Delhi," Javadekar alleged.
He further alleged that AAP leader Sanjay Singh had said violence would take place in Delhi. Their 'conspiracy has been exposed by Delhi Police', he claimed.
"We condemn this politics of AAP," he said.
Javadekar also claimed this was 'not an isolated incident' as AAP member Amanatullah Khan made a 'very provocative speech' and the party supported Shaheen Bagh and did not give permission for the prosecution of members of the 'tukde-tukde gang'.
He hinted the BJP could approach the Election Commission against AAP over the issue.
