New Delhi [India], February 5 (ANI): Amid the ongoing Delhi Assembly polls, BJP National President JP Nadda, accompanied by Delhi BJP president Virendraa Sachdeva and Union Minister Harsh Malhotra visited the Delhi BJP office on Wednesday.
Several BJP leaders cast their vote and exuded confidence in the BJP's win in the election, saying that a double-engine government would be formed in Delhi.
The BJP's campaign, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, targeted Kejriwal over alleged issues with the Yamuna water and corruption. Meanwhile, Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra held rallies, accusing AAP of "damaging" the infrastructure of Delhi.
