The BJP, which came second by winning 104 seats out of 250 seats in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, has pulled itself out of the mayoral race. BJP state president Adesh Gupta has made it clear that the public will fulfill the responsibility given to him to play the role of a strong opposition.

Expressed gratitude to the people of Delhi for giving nearly 40 per cent votes to the BJP in the municipal elections. Along with this, she has promised that she will strongly raise the questions and problems related to the people of Delhi in the corporation as well. Will try my best to fulfill them. Adesh Gupta thanked the Delhi Police and the Election Commission for peacefully voting.

‘BJP’s increased vote share’

In the state BJP office, Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Legislative Assembly Ramveer Singh Bidhuri and Adesh Gupta said that in the 2017 municipal elections, the BJP got 36.08 per cent votes, while in the 2022 municipal elections it has increased to 39.09 per cent. He said that the face of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was exposed due to BJP’s anti-corruption campaign.

Because of this, the public rejected AAP’s candidates in the assembly of Deputy Chief Minister and Ministers of Delhi Government. Not only this, compared to the assembly elections, AAP got about 10 percent less vote share.

Congress bowed down

Gupta said that there were 30-35 seats in which the BJP could not win by a very small margin. He said that the only change this time as compared to last time is that Congress has surrendered before AAP.

AAP accused for selling tickets

We worked according to the public welfare policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the guidelines of National BJP President Jagat Prakash Nadda. The BJP candidates who could not become corporators will play the role of the opposition in their area, because the candidates you have made by selling tickets will collect money from the people in the corporation. In such a situation, what would the public expect from those corporators in the name of development.

Will serve the people of Delhi by becoming a strong opposition

Gupta said that the BJP would serve the people of Delhi by becoming a strong opposition. Leader of Opposition Ramveer Singh Bidhuri said that the way AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal kept claiming BJP getting 20 seats, but Delhiites made BJP win 104 seats. This proves that Arvind Kejriwal is the most liar politician of the country.

He said that the Kejriwal government deliberately does not implement the schemes of the central government in Delhi. Even after being on the second number, the discussion about becoming the mayor of BJP started because some BJP leaders had expressed apprehension about it after the results came out.
