The BJP has named the campaign “Janta Ka Mudda Assembly Mein,” through which the saffron party will collect information from people regarding their issues.
After the campaign started from the iconic Connaught Place, Sachdeva spoke to a woman and her daughter who had come from Ashok Nagar, and shared the issues affecting their area.
The mother-daughter duo filled in the complaint form given by Delhi BJP chief, where they listed major issues faced by people in their area including dirty water supply, waterlogging, dirty unmaintained colony parks and e-rickshaw’s blocking traffic.
According to the Delhi BJP, most people who filled in the complaint forms wanted the BJP MLAs to raise issues such as inflated electricity bills, dirty water supply, irregular social welfare pension, encroachments, lack of civic amenities, e- rickshaws issues and the lack of proper health and education facilities.
Sachdeva further informed that BJP workers who are going door-to-door, as part of the party’s membership campaign, will get complaint forms filled by the people of the city and submit to the LoP Vijender Gupta, who will then shortlist issues to be raised in the Delhi Assembly.
BJP MLAs Ajay Mahawar, O P Sharma, Mohan Singh Bisht, Abhay Verma, Anil Vajpayee and Delhi BJP media chief Praveen Shankar Kapoor were also present on the occasion. They got complaint forms filled in by the common public near Palika Bazaar in Connaught Place.
