New Delhi [India], January 26 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from Malviya Nagar, Satish Upadhyay, on Sunday reiterated that India will become a developed nation by 2047, as envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“We are in the Amrit Kaal of independence. With Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision, India will become a developed nation by 2047… We have also pledged to work towards making India a developed country,” he said
He further stated that the people of the constituency are taking a resolve for a Viksit Bharat by participating in a Tiranga Yatra on the occasion of Republic Day, which is being celebrated across the nation.
Earlier in the day, BJP candidate Parvesh Verma alleged that Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal is distributing money to thousands of paid workers in exchange for votes.
Verma, who will be contesting against Kejriwal from the New Delhi assembly constituency, accused AAP of distributing money to slum dwellers, claiming that party workers are giving Rs 500 notes wrapped in calendars to people in the slum areas.
“People of AAP are distributing notes of Rs 500 wrapped in calenders in the slum areas. Such videos came up from the Gandhi camp a day earlier. Police caught and arrested them there. An NCR (Non-Cognizable Report) has been prepared by the police. Cases have been registered against them. Thousands of people have been called and they are getting Rs 800 on a daily wage basis to work (for the AAP). They have not brought the money from their houses. Arvind Kejriwal is giving them money to distribute it in exchange for votes to Kejriwal,” the BJP leader alleged.
Calling Kejriwal’s actions “shameful,” Verma accused the Delhi CM of bringing politics to a “low level.”
Verma added that a complaint had been filed with both the Election Commission and the Police, urging action to uncover and dismantle the alleged racket.
The BJP leader added, “Action should be taken and the whole racket should be bustedThe AAP has not yet responded to the allegations.
The AAP is eyeing a third term while the BJP is leaving no stone unturned to wrest back power from the ruling party.
The counting of votes is set for February 8. A total of 699 candidates are competing for the 70 Assembly seats in the National Capital.
The Congress, which was in power for 15 consecutive years in Delhi, has suffered setbacks in the last two assembly elections and failed to win any seats.
In contrast, AAP dominated the 2015 and 2020 assembly elections, winning 67 and 62 seats, respectively, out of a total of 70 seats, while BJP secured only three and eight seats in these elections. (ANI)
