Gupta on the occasion conveyed his gratitude to the party leadership for giving him an opportunity to serve the party once again. The responsibility comes at a critical juncture when the governance in Delhi has completely failed under the AAP government.
He claimed that the people of Delhi feel betrayed and look to the BJP under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi as the only party capable of providing pro-people and clean governance.
“We are committed to exposing the failures of the AAP government at all levels and voicing the concerns of the people on the floor of the House. We will demand the convening of the Assembly session, which has been stalled by the AAP government,” Gupta added.
