In his address on the occasion, Delhi BJP chief Sachdeva said that the BJP family has more than 180 million member, and under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is rapidly progressing on the path of development.

Taking a dig at the Aam Aadmi Party, he added that, however, it is a misfortune that there is a government in Delhi that has worsened the situation in the city, he alleged, adding that ,”We never imagined that a situation would arise in Delhi where someone could lose their life just by walking on the street.”

Sachdeva, criticizing the AAP government further, alleged it has left no stone unturned in worsening Delhi’s condition, and added that during present day, a half-hour rain results in waterlogging, which has proven to be deadly.

He further alleged that under the pretext of health reform and Mohalla Clinics, the Delhi government has looted the city.

“A single number was used to sign and pay for 18,000 slips. This is what the Kejriwal government calls a health revolution,” the BJP leader claimed.

He added alleging that current status of the Mohalla clinics is deplorable, and further said that the despite this the ministers in the Kejriwal government claim these clinics are world-class.

Tanwar, who joined the saffron party, in his address expressed that he was happy to have the opportunity to return to the family after ten years, as he had started his political career with the BJP.

He added that he felt honored to return and appreciated the issues raised by Delhi BJP chief.
