The election office of the BJP for the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections was inaugurated at the Pant Marg headquarters of the party's state unit on Saturday in the presence of senior leaders.
Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva, along with his wife, performed a 'havan', joined by the party's state election in-charge Baijayant Panda, election coordination committee chairman and Union minister Harsh Malhotra, MPs Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, Manoj Tiwari, Kamaljeet Sehrawat, Bansuri Swaraj, Yogendra Chandolia, Praveen Khandelwal, and others.
The elections for the 70-member Delhi Assembly are scheduled to be held in February next year. The BJP, out of power in Delhi since 1998, is making every effort to end the dominance of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), led by Arvind Kejriwal.
Panda and other leaders also flagged off a fleet of vans to tour across Delhi, gathering feedback from the public for the party’s manifesto for the Assembly elections.
The slogan 'Ab Nahi Sahenge, Badal Kar Rahenge' (we will not tolerate anymore, we will bring change) was introduced by Panda for the feedback exercise.
BJP leaders, speaking at the event, claimed that the people of Delhi have had enough and now want to remove AAP from power to receive relief from issues such as dirty water supply, damaged roads, expensive electricity, and high levels of pollution.
In response, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal made a caustic remark on the BJP's slogan, suggesting it reflected the opposition party’s intent to undo the work done by his government in Delhi.
In a post on X, he stated, "They have today officially announced that they will change everything. It means the 24-hour electricity supply will stop, there will be long power cuts with bills running into thousands of rupees, free bus travel for women will end, all schools will be ruined, Mohalla Clinics will be shut, and free medicines and treatment will stop." He urged people to vote carefully, stating that the BJP has now made its intentions clear.
