First year set Delhi’s direction, next four will bring transformation: CM

Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Monday said the first year of her government was focused on changing Delhi’s direction, while the next four years would be dedicated to transforming the city’s overall condition.

Addressing people at an event in North East Delhi while presenting her government’s one-year report card, Gupta said her position carried great responsibility, not privilege, and that in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), leaders are entrusted with responsibilities.

She said several long-pending issues related to roads, sewer lines, libraries, schools and electric buses had been addressed, and a detailed booklet of completed works had been shared with the public.

“While the first year was about changing the direction of Delhi, the next four years will be about transforming the city’s condition,” she said.

Referring to the Yamuna Par Development Board, the Chief Minister said it had been reconstituted and allocated Rs 700 crore after being discontinued by the previous government. She assured citizens that Delhi’s condition would improve year after year and witness positive transformation.

Marking the completion of one year of the BJP-led Delhi government, state BJP president Virendra Sachdeva, along with the Chief Minister and local MPs, began visiting workers in every parliamentary constituency to interact with them and highlight the government’s achievements. The first such visit took place in North East Delhi on Monday.

Gupta said BJP workers had consistently protested against the wrongdoing of previous governments and held them accountable. She also congratulated party workers for taking the policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to every household, which, she said, helped the party form the government in Delhi.

Addressing the gathering, Sachdeva said the programme was an interaction with workers whose discipline and dedication helped form the government. He added that the BJP government was working among the people and would seek votes in the future based on its performance.

He also said that every Saturday, a minister remains present at the party’s state office so citizens can directly raise their concerns and get their issues resolved.
