BJP will directly benefit from this. As a few days ago, the election of a member of the Permanent Committee was going to be held. Also in the last mayoral election, we organized a strike on the orders of the party, due to which we had to face the wrath of the people of our ward and people put up posters claiming to accept bribes of Rs 50 lakh each. in the room. That is why we cannot support the BJP. I resign from the primary membership of the Congress Party.

Every hardworking BJP worker is committed to advancing the nature of India and Delhi on the path of nature. Today, if the BJP is elected and the BJP mayor and deputy mayor are elected, then I know the inactivity that the MCD suffers because of the AAP. By removing him, the MCD will do its duty and the BJP will work for the people of Delhi.
