BJP: People have voted for development under Modi

New Delhi: As the polling for the seven Lok Sabha seats in the national capital concluded on Saturday, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva claimed that the huge turnout despite the blistering heat proved that Delhiites had enthusiastically voted for the continuation of the development of the city under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s govt. “Delhi has voted for a strong govt, expressing faith in PM Modi. It has voted on road infrastructure development, construction of rapid rail, expansion of metro, FAME electric buses, and construction of an international-standard convention centre,” he said.Sachdeva claimed, “The unoccupied polling booth tables of both AAP and Congress candidates in Delhi’s all constituencies showed that the wind was blowing in BJP’s favour.” For the past three months, BJP kept hearing about INDIA bloc, but Congress’ Rahul Gandhi and AAP’s Arvind Kejriwal did not share the dais in any campaign meeting, he pointed out, claiming, “AAP and Congress workers did not work together to bring out voters.” Thanking party workers and supporters for their hard work during the campaign, the Delhi BJP chief said it would help in completing BJP’s hat-trick in Delhi. The party’s Chandni Chowk candidate, Praveen Khandelwal, who came to cast his vote with his family members at Sitaram Bazaar in Old Delhi, said, “There is no doubt that we are winning all seven seats in Delhi, and the country has elected BJP at the Center for the third time under the leadership of PM Modi, keeping in mind the interest of nation building.”The BJP candidate from North East Delhi, Manoj Tiwari, said the people had decided to form a strong govt and once again chosen BJP. “Despite the scorching heat, people have performed their democratic duty in national interest.” He claimed that the enthusiasm of the workers and voters indicated that with over 400 seats, Modi would become Prime Minister for the third time with a huge majority. The BJP candidate from South Delhi, Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, said it was actually the people of his constituency who were fighting the election. “I had not done anything as it was the people who were fighting the poll. Narendra Modi remains in the heart of the people, so it was the people who had taken the responsibility of Modi’s victory.”Expressing her gratitude to PM Modi and senior members of BJP, West Delhi candidate Kamaljeet Sehrawat also thanked party workers who stood firmly by her. “I am grateful to all of you for the immense love and support you provided. In the future, too, we will continue to move ahead together with the motto of sabka saath, sabka vikas, sabka prayas and sabka vishwas.”New Delhi candidate Bansuri Swaraj thanked voters for enthusiastically participating in the “great festival of democracy”. “Thanks to officers, employees, police and security forces who conducted the voting smoothly. Also, heartfelt gratitude to all friends, respected workers and the people of New Delhi who worked tirelessly for the landslide victory of Bharatiya Janata Party in this election,” Swaraj said.
