Speaking to The Statesman in an exclusive interview, the BJP spokesperson said his party has been responsible to take 25 crore people of the country out of poverty.
Days after a photographer was killed during broad-day light in west-Delhi, another instance of violence has emerged from the national capital, after a 43-year-old Congress Seva Dal member was shot dead, following an argument over rash driving on GT Karnal Road on Tuesday.
The deceased, Vinod Mehra, a resident of east Delhi’s Geeta Colony, was driving back to his home in his WagonR from a wedding function when suddenly a van overtook him.
Mehra and the occupants of the other car got into an argument over the rash-overtaking near the Bhalswa Flyover, resulting in one of the occupants firing a shot at him.

Mehra was taken to a Parmanand Hospital by his co-passenger (nephew) and another individual but was declared ‘brought dead’.
The bullet had pierced the left side of his chest and the doctors had pronounced him brought dead, police said. The police are also scanning CCTV footage and investigations are underway in the case.
Later, the family claimed that the cops did not help the victim. Mehra was first taken to Timarpur police station instead of a hospital, where he was refused assistance they added.
