The BJP on Saturday made a triumphant return to power in Delhi after 27 years, with party leaders hailing it as a “historic” mandate.
Party chief JP Nadda, speaking at the victory rally at the BJP headquarters, also contended that the results were clear evidence that “Delhi ke dil (heart) mein Modi hai”.
The Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare and Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers also lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi for “changing” politics in India and holding people accountable.
“There was a time when was a time when politics was about giving attractive speeches to the people and making promises and then forgetting them later. Prime Minister Modi brought a change in the politics of India and gave birth to the politics of report cards, and what was said was done, what was not said was also done...Modi's guarantee is a guarantee that the guarantee will be fulfilled,” he said.
The senior politician also channelled the delivery style of actor Akshay Kumar as he assured: “Jo main bolta hu, woh main karta hun. Jo main nahi bolta, woh main definitely karta hun.”
The BJP won a historic mandate in Delhi polls on Saturday, returning to power in the national capital after 27 years by ousting the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) with several AAP leaders, including former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, losing from their strongholds.
The Delhi Assembly election verdict also comes months after the BJP-led coalition swept the Maharashtra Assembly polls. The BJP also won Haryana last year, further consolidating its domination in national politics.
Nadda also launched a scathing attack against the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP during his address, accusing it of “misleading the people” in the name of education.
“These elections have given a clear message that the people of Delhi do not need such a party. 'AAP-Da' is a factory of lies and a factory for finding new ways to commit corruption,” Nadda added.
