Development priorities make Delhi voters repose faith in BJP: Odisha CM

Bhubaneswar (Odisha) [India], February 8 (ANI): Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi has said that development priorities suffered under the rule of AAP in Delhi, leading voters to repose faith in BJP this time.

"It did not develop as a national capital should have. And that is the reason people decided to bring a change," he added.
As BJP continues to dominate the Delhi election results, Delhi BJP Chief Virendra Sachdeva said that the people of Delhi have shown faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi who will visit the party's headquarters on Saturday's evening.
"People of Delhi have shown faith in PM Modi. It's a huge victory for us and the people of Delhi. He (PM Modi) will come to the party headquarters in the evening," Sachdeva said.
