New Delhi (India), February 8 (ANI): As the counting of votes for the Delhi Assembly elections continues, Robert Vadra expressed his hopes for the city’s future.
Vadra, speaking to ANI on Saturday, emphasised that the people of Delhi are seeking solutions to pressing issues such as pollution, women’s safety, and the need for better infrastructure.
“The people of Delhi want relief from pollution, security for women, and better infrastructure. Congress and its leaders will work together for the development of Delhi,” Vadra said. He further noted that irrespective of which party forms the next government, it is essential that the leadership focuses on these critical concerns for the welfare of the city’s residents.
Vadra also addressed the ongoing political climate in Delhi, where allegations of horse-trading have emerged during the election period. “There are talks of horse-trading, such kind of politics should not be done,” he remarked. “People have voted, and that should be respected.”
Meanwhile, BJP candidate from the New Delhi Assembly constituency, Parvesh Verma, on Saturday, said that it’s an important day for Delhi and prayed for the formation of BJP government in the national capital.
