Anil Kumar, Delhi Government Minister Shri Gopal Rai, MLA Sandeep Jha, former Delhi Minister Dr Narendra Nath, Communication Deptt. chairman Shri Anil Bhardwaj, Ex MLA Shri Bhishma Sharma, Ch Mateen Ahmed,Shri Hasan Ahmed, Shri Varun Chowdhary (President All India NSUI) (DCC) Ch Zubair Ahmed, Shri Adesh Bhardwaj.
Shri Kanhaiya Kumar held a road show from his Central Election Office, Maujpur to the District Magistrate office, with thousands of Congress and India Alliance workers and leaders participating in the massive show of voter strength. Throughout the route, thousands of local residents lined up to witness the procession, with the Congress workers waving Congress flags.
DPCC president Shri Devender Yadav said that the INDIA Alliance will sweep all the seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi. He said that the first two schedules of the Parliament elections give a clear indication that people now want a Government that works, not an authoritarian Government which does nothing. He said that PM Modi’s dream of crossing 400-par seats will remain as a mere wish, as the Lok Sabha elections will herald the victory march of the INDIA Alliance, as the BJP Government, which bluffed the people in the past 10 years to put the country in darkness, will face a bitter defeat. He said that the India Alliance was not only receiving massive support from the people of Delhi, but all across the country, as the India block will record a historic victory.
Shri Kanhaiya Kumar, addressing the workers, assured the local residents, Congress and INDIA Alliance workers that he would work for the development of the area and welfare of the people, and to protect their rights. He said that in the past 10 years, the local BJP MP had done nothing for the people of the area, nor for the development of the area. He said that when those in power become arrogant, sins multiply, assaults and attacks on people mount, and then the fight for justice begins. He said that Congress leader Shri Rahul Gandhi has been fighting for the rights of the people, raising their issues, to give them justice and we all have to fight unitedly to realize the dream of Shri Rahul Gandhi to give justice and rights to the people, to protect democracy and the Constitution.
Shri Kanhaiya Kumar said that the BJP cut the tickets of six sitting MPs, but why was the ticket of the sitting MP of North East Delhi not cut, though he had done nothing for the constituency in the past 10 years? He said that people of North East Delhi are upset and angry with the sitting BJP MP Manoj Tiwari for doing nothing, though he claims that he had carried out development works to the tune of Rs 14,000 crore, but people say no work was done. Then where did the money vanish? Yet, he has been repeated which was an insult to the people of North East Delhi and shows the dearth of talent in the BJP. He promised to work for the people of Delhi with their support and co-operation, and in return sought their support and votes to become their representative in Parliament.
