After LS, BJP steps up efforts to win Delhi
Holds executive committee meet at JLN stadium, felicitates workers for 2024 polls
After sweeping all the seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi for the third consecutive time, the BJP is now gearing up for the Delhi Assembly polls to be held next year, where they have been on sticky wicket for almost 25 years.
The party on Sunday held its Delhi unit’s extended executive committee meeting at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, where the BJP congratulated its workers for the clean sweep in the parliamentary polls and asked them to step up efforts to ensure the party’s victory in the Assembly elections scheduled in February next year.
The meeting was chaired by Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva and inaugurated by Union minister Piyush Goyal. All the seven BJP MPs from Delhi and the unit’s officer bearers and workers from the ward-to-district level were part of the gathering.
During the meeting, which focused on the BJP’s preparedness for the Assembly elections, leaders and workers were asked to inform people about the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Central government’s schemes and welfare projects, while highlighting the “failures” of the AA-Pled Delhi government.
Talking about the BJP’s Lok Sabha win in Delhi, Mr Goyal said, “This victory is not an ordinary one
and Delhi’s contribution in it is invaluable. PM Modi’s victory is solely a victory of development works, as he has continuously made efforts to serve the country's interests.”
“Whether southern or northern states, their lack of success speaks volumes. In South India, if any party has emerged as the largest, it is the BJP. The Congress has become a parasite that feeds on the support of allies to win elections in any state,” the Union minister added.
Mr Goyal said even after the Congress and the AAP contested together, 54 per cent of the votes in the recently held LS polls went to the BJP, establishing the fact that Delhiites stand with PM Modi. “In this third term, we will work with three times the energy,” the minister claimed.
