MCD bypoll ‘key to resolving pending issues’, says CM Rekha Gupta

Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Monday said that the upcoming Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) by-election is not merely an electoral process, but an opportunity to choose clean, transparent, and development-oriented governance, adding that it is important for the BJP to win these 12 seats to ensure that people’s pending issues are resolved.

Taking a dig at the opposition, Gupta stated that the people of Delhi are well aware of their false promises and misleading propaganda, adding that, “We do not make empty announcements; we deliver results.”

Gupta claimed that the city was going through a lot of problems for a very long time, and now was the time to resolve all those pending issues that have been affecting the people of the city.

According to the CM’s claims, Delhi has witnessed how the BJP, both at the centre and in the civic body, has set new benchmarks in development.

She appealed to the citizens of the city to cast their vote in large numbers for the BJP candidates in the elections scheduled for November 30.

Gupta said that the BJP has nominated strong and capable candidates in all 12 wards for the MCD by-elections, and the party is confident of a stellar performance and of once again earning the trust of the people.

On Monday, Gupta participated in the nomination-related programs of the party’s candidates from wards, including Shalimar Bagh-B and Ashok Vihar. Before the filing of nominations, CM inaugurated the election offices and participated in the traditional rituals of havan ceremonies.

Gupta also joined a roadshow and addressed a large public gathering, stating that the party has nominated hardworking, experienced, and committed women candidates from both wards.

The CM expressed confidence that they would fulfil Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’.

Speaking about Shalimar Bagh, CM noted that the area has long been recognised for its vibrant religious and social life, adding that the collective strength has made the area one of the most organised and progressive constituencies in Delhi.

As per CM’s claims, in the past eight months, not only in Shalimar Bagh, but across Delhi, long-pending development projects have gained new momentum, which include resolving the issues of families living in slum clusters, easing administrative challenges faced by traders, ensuring a safe environment for women and girls, and establishing smart classrooms and several others.
