Earlier today, Delhi BJP President Sachdeva stated that the people of Delhi had chosen PM Modi’s governance model over Arvind Kejriwal’s. Speaking to ANI, he described the election as a battle between good and bad governance.
“The situation in Delhi–contaminated water, broken roads, poor sanitation, pollution in Yamuna, and much more–is a reflection of Kejriwal’s model of governance, which the people of Delhi have rejected,” he said.
“On the other hand, Modi ji’s model of good governance is one that the entire nation respects. People have chosen good governance,” he said.
Sachdeva further accused AAP leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal, Atishi, and Saurabh Bharadwaj, of betraying the public.
“Their prominent leaders will lose the elections because they have betrayed the public. Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Atishi–these are all faces of corruption. The people will not forgive them,” Sachdeva said.
Polling for Delhi’s 70-member assembly took place on February 5, with a recorded voter turnout of 60.54%. The BJP’s campaign, led by PM Modi, focused on issues such as alleged pollution in the Yamuna River and the renovation of Kejriwal’s residence.
During the campaign, PM Modi also used terms like “Aapda” and “Sheesh Mahal” to criticize Kejriwal’s administration.
