The BJP won all the seven parliamentary constituencies in Delhi in the elections in this year. The party got more votes than the AAP and its alliance partners Congress in 52 out of 70 Assembly segments that comprise the seven Lok Sabha seats.
“This sentiment was clearly reflected in the results of the Lok Sabha elections, when the BJP won in 52 assembly constituencies, including eight reserved for Scheduled Castes,” Sachdeva said.
In the meeting held at Ranthambhore on September 28-29, the discussions took place on strengthening the organization before the assembly elections, exposing the “corruption” of the AAP government and planning the media and social media strategy for the polls, the statement said.
All leaders present in the meeting were unanimous in their view that the people of Delhi are “fed up with the corruption and inefficiency” of the Aam Aadmi Party, it claimed.
The Delhi Assembly polls are due in February 2025. The BJP was routed by the AAP back to back in 2015 and 2020, managing to win just three and eight seats.
