The political climate in Delhi intensifies as Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from the Rajouri Garden Assembly seat, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, expresses strong confidence in clinching a victory in the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. Sirsa promises the formation of a "double-engine" government and stresses infrastructural improvements, including clean drinking water and well-constructed roads, if the BJP wins.
Meanwhile, Sirsa faces incumbent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate Dhanwati Chandela. The opposition parties are actively voicing the dissatisfaction of Delhi's residents with the current AAP administration's performance. Delhi Congress President Devendra Yadav critiques the "unfulfilled" promises of the AAP government and appeals to voters to support the Congress party for change.
Additionally, BJP leader Baijayant Jay Panda highlights the necessity for a "conflict-free" government in Delhi, citing the electorate's weariness of false promises by the AAP over the past decade. Panda indicates the BJP's readiness, urging citizens to grant BJP an opportunity to foster the same progress seen elsewhere in India. As Delhi readies for the polls on February 5, the Model Code of Conduct is now in effect.
