Holi 2025 special with BJP Govt in Delhi: CM
Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva, hosting the event, expressed joy that after 27 years, the party’s Holi celebrations were graced by the Delhi CM and Ministers.
In a major move to fight air pollution, the Delhi Cabinet on Saturday approved for the national capital, claiming to be the first Indian city to have such a large number of e-buses.
Calling it a “historic day for Delhi”, state Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot said the decision will help in ensuring a cleaner, greener future for the people of Delhi.
