New Delhi: The high-octane Delhi Assembly Election campaign came to an end on February 3. Delhi will go to the polls on February 5, and the results will be declared on February 8. During the campaign, both Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) left no stone unturned to woo the voters. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar launched a scathing attack against the Aam Aadmi Party-led Delhi government and critised it for “failing” to provide essential services to residents, and said he feels “ashamed” to admit abroad that people in the national capital lack basic amenities under central schemes.
The minister further added that Delhi has been “left behind” over the past decade and urged voters to consider a change in government when they cast their ballots on February 5. During an interaction with the South Indian Community of Delhi on ‘Viksit Delhi-Viksit Bharat,’ Jaishankar said, “Whenever I visit foreign countries, I hide one thing from the world. I feel ashamed to go abroad and say that people living in the national capital do not get houses, do not get gas cylinders, or piped water under Jal Jeevan Mission and do not get the benefit of Ayushman Bharat.”
He also praised PM Narendra Modi’s leadership and said, “Ever since Narendra Modi became Prime Minister, the thinking of the world about India has changed a lot. The world sees that when the economic situation in the whole world is down, we are still maintaining six to seven per cent growth rate.”
Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh exuded confidence in his party winning more than 60 seats in the 70-seat legislature in the upcoming Delhi assembly polls.
Speaking to media persons, Sanjay Singh said that the Arvind Kejriwal-led government will be formed in Delhi with an absolute majority. “AAP will be winning more than sixty seats and the Arvind Kejriwal-led government will be formed in Delhi with an absolute majority,” Sanjay Singh said.
