BJP leaders confident of party’s victory
As Delhi Assembly election campaign draws to a close, BJP leaders expressed confidence that the party is poised to form the next government in Delhi.
Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva held a press conference which was attended by key party figures such as party’s Assembly election in-charge Harsh Malhotra, MP Manoj Tiwari, Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, Yogendra Chandolia, Praveen Khandelwal and Bansuri Swaraj.
While addressing the conference, Sachdeva said: “The people of Delhi have decided for a change and they no longer want Kejriwal’s excuses. They want BJP’s development and change,” he said.
Acknowledging the final hours of campaigning, Sachdeva vowed that BJP workers would dedicate themselves to securing every last vote in the remaining 48 hours. He criticised the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for relying on lies, confusion and rumors throughout their campaign.
Sachdeva credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s influence for energising the BJP’s campaign, stating that after several rallies by the Prime Minister, the BJP was confident that Delhi was ready for a change.
“The BJP will form the government on February 8,” he asserted.
Malhotra, Union Minister of State, claimed that the election would be a turning point for Delhi. He criticised the AAP for lack of progress over the past decade. He said: “The AAP has only spread political pollution in Delhi. This time, the BJP will form the government, and we will bring 13,000 electric buses and beautify the Yamuna, making it look like the Sabarmati riverfront in three years.”
Bidhuri also took aim at Kejriwal’s failed policies, particularly new alcohol policy and financial deficits due to scams. He reaffirmed BJP’s commitment to continuing welfare schemes, including free electricity and water, while addressing issues like surcharges.
MP Tiwari assured that the next government would focus on cooperation and harmony. “People no longer want a government that is mired in conflict,” he remarked.
Meanwhile, Bansuri Swaraj appealed to voters to turn out in large numbers.
