Bidhuri highlighted the critical role of industries in driving a state’s economic progress, noting their dual contribution through tax revenue and job creation.
He underscored the responsibility of governments to create a business-friendly environment and criticized previous administrations for neglecting industrial areas, treating entrepreneurs solely as revenue sources.
He pointed out severe infrastructural deficiencies in Delhi’s factory areas, including deteriorated roads, blocked sewer systems, and inadequate drinking water facilities.
He assured attendees that the BJP’s top priority would be the simultaneous development of industries and industrial zones.
Representatives from various industrial organizations participated in the session, including the Okhla Chamber of Industries, Badli Industrial Estate Association, Okhla Printers and Providers Association, Mohan Estate Welfare Association, MCIE Badarpur Industries Association, Udyog Nagar Factory Owners Association, Wazirpur Industrial Estate Welfare Association, Mayapuri Industrial Welfare Association, Naraina Industries Association (Phase 1 and 2), Bawana Manufacturers Welfare Association, Manufacturers Association of GTK Road Industrial Area (Block A and B), Patparganj F.I.E. Entrepreneurs Association, and Friends Colony Manufacturers Association.
Meenakshi Lekhi stated that the BJP is actively engaging with various community groups to draft a comprehensive manifesto. She highlighted recent dialogues with Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) on Thursday and a youth engagement session earlier on Friday.
She also announced the launch of the BJP’s manifesto van on Saturday, which will tour neighborhoods across the national capital to gather more public input.
