BJP’s Decade Outperforms Congress’ 60 Years: Nitin Gadkari

Speaking at a poll meeting in support of BJP’s West Delhi Lok Sabha candidate Kamaljeet Sehrawat, Gadkari urged the electorate to vote for BJP to ensure pollution-free air and water in the national capital.

“This election, in its truest sense, is for deciding the future of the country. I can tell you what the Congress could not do in 60 years, we did it in 10 years under Modiji. We have come to you with our report card,” he told the gathering.

Gadkari praised Sehrawat, suggesting that her election would further development efforts.

“Choose the lotus symbol and the BJP. If you want to see India becoming a ‘vishwa guru’, the world’s third-largest economy, and want Delhi to be free from water pollution, noise pollution, and air pollution, you should choose BJP. If these three things happen, the life span of Delhiites will increase by 10 years,” he said.

Highlighting the need for honest leadership, Gadkari stated, “The country does not lack money but honest leaders. Only under able leadership will the country prosper.” He emphasized that addressing Delhi’s air pollution would also reduce medical bills for residents.

“Even if I stay in Delhi for three days, I develop an infection. There are problems in Delhi — traffic jams, pollution, and lack of cleanliness. Nobody thought about addressing these issues in 60 years but only our government thought about Delhi,” he said, underscoring various central government-funded projects in the capital.

At another poll meeting in Moti Nagar, Gadkari supported the party’s New Delhi constituency candidate Bansuri Swaraj, highlighting the positive changes in India under BJP’s leadership. He remembered her mother, the late BJP leader Sushma Swaraj, fondly.

“She stood behind me like a rock. I have two sisters and I consider Sushma ji my third sister. She did great work as Union external affairs minister. She is no longer with us. Bansuri is not standing in the polls just because she is Sushma ji’s daughter. Bansuri is educated, knowledgeable, has a vision, is polite, and can strengthen your voice and solve your problems,” he added.

Meanwhile, BJP National President J P Nadda held a roadshow in the South Delhi Assembly Constituency in support of BJP candidate Ramvir Singh Bidhuri. Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant also joined the campaign trail in Delhi, bolstering support for the party’s candidates.
