With the song, the party which rules the three municipal corporations has officially kickstarted its campaign for the civic polls.
“There is a lot of negativity in the atmosphere and citizens of Delhi are being misguided by the ruling government. So, we thought of a different strategy. We are starting our campaign on a positive note. We will go door to door and convince people to contribute for the development of city under leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” Tiwari said.
Tiwari said his song will inspire people to come together to work for the city. “We will work together to make the city safe, green and digital friendly. Our first poster, released on Friday, also talks about positivity. It says “Naye Chehre, Nayi Oorja, Nayi Udaan… Dilli Maange Kamal Nishaan (New faces, new energy and new horizons..Delhi loves the symbol of Lotus) ” and theme song is “O Bhaiya Dekh Bhaiya, Bhajpa Dil Mein... Dil Mein... Bhajpa Dilli Mein,” he added.
