New Delhi, Feb 2 (PTI) – Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Sunday made a strong appeal to Delhi voters, urging them to "free" the national capital from the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which he accused of delivering "extremely poor governance."
As part of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) high-voltage campaign for the upcoming February 5 assembly elections, Vaishnaw conducted a door-to-door outreach in the Panckuian Road locality of New Delhi. Addressing residents, the Information and Broadcasting Minister emphasized the need for a political shift in the capital.
"We are at a crucial stage. Everyone has seen how Kejriwal's extremely poor governance has pushed this beautiful city into serious problems. Now, the time has come to free ourselves from this and take Delhi forward," said Vaishnaw, a bureaucrat-turned-politician.
He also stressed the importance of voter turnout, urging citizens to head to polling booths early. "It is essential that on election day (Feb 5), everyone remembers to step out by 8 am and also encourage others to go out and vote," he said.
