Everybody knows which party has "mastery in fuelling riots", Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said on Wednesday hitting back at the BJP's Prakash Javadekar who blamed the AAP for violent protests against the new citizenship law in the national capital in December.
Accusing the BJP of trying to distract people from real issues ahead of the Assembly polls, Sisodia also said the Union minister should understand that the Delhi election would be fought not on "old tapes" that the BJP was playing on a "new tape recorder", but on real issues such as education.
All the policies of the BJP was against "good and cheap" education, he alleged and sought explanation from the party over hike in CBSE examination fees that "burdened six lakh families" in Delhi.
Earlier in the day, Javadekar who is Delhi BJP in-charge for the Assembly polls, said, "The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Congress are responsible for the violence during Citizenship (Amendment) Act protests in Delhi. They have maintained silence and did not condemn violence and their people incited it."
Responding to the allegation, Sisodia said, "The AAP completely opposes riots and we all know which party indulges in riots. The one with mastery in fuelling riots are telling who are behind riots."
