New Delhi [India], April 21 (ANI): BJP Mayor candidate for Municipal Corporation of Delhi Annual Election, Sardar Raja Iqbal Singh on Monday said that the "Lotus" will bloom in the entire civic centre as the party has a lot of people's support.
"This is the win of Delhi's public that was fed up with the AAP government. Now, a triple-engine government will be formed and Delhi development will begin. Lotus will bloom in the entire civic centre as we have a lot of support from people," Iqbal Singh told ANI.
Attacking the Aam Aadmi Party, Raja Iqbal Singh said, "We don't need his (Saurabh Bharadwaj) advice. People gave them (AAP) a chance of five years and the work they did lead the public to throw them off. We will work well."
He also asserted that the biggest issue in Delhi is cleanliness.
"Delhi should be clean and green. We will work on educational facilities and primary health centres and try to maintain hygiene at all settlements," the BJP mayor candidate said.
Earlier today, Aam Aadmi Party's Delhi convenor, Saurabh Bharadwaj, stated that his party will not field a candidate in the Mayor's elections this time.
The Aam Aadmi Party has decided to abstain from the mayoral polls, saying that the BJP should "rule Delhi without any excuses."
The Bharatiya Janata Party has announced that Sardar Raja Iqbal Singh will be the party's mayoral candidate for the upcoming Municipal Corporation of Delhi's annual election.
The elections for the posts of mayor and deputy mayor in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) are scheduled for April 25, with nominations for candidates open now.
Currently, AAP controls the mayoral post, as Mayor Mahesh Kumar Khinchi won the election in November 2024 by just three votes.
The three civic bodies, East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC), North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC), and South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC), were re-unified into a single entity on May 22, 2022, as the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. (ANI)
