BJP-AAP blame-game

AAP on Sunday accused BJP of practising "cheap" politics for blaming it to be behind violence in South Delhi and said saffron party was trying to defame it ahead of assembly polls. Senior AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh made charge against BJP while "strongly" condemning violence in souast Delhi. "AAP is a peaceful party that believes in democracy and n-violence. Whenever BJP realises it is going to lose (in polls), it indulges in such cheap political tactics," said Singh.
