The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) South Delhi candidate Ramesh Bidhuri on Friday sought support from voters across the rural belt citing the necessity to increase the influence of “nationalist powers” in the country.
Mr. Bidhuri, the sitting MP, also spoke of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chief Maulana Masood Azhar being labelled as an international terrorist by the United Nations (UN) as he “bowed down” to the Indian Army.
In addition to a public meeting in Badarpur, Mr. Bidhuri held public meetings at Dakshinpuri, Kalakaji and Khanpur where he spoke of development work undertaken during his tenure over the last five years under the Model Gram Yojana.
These, he said, included issues related to water supply through the construction of a network of pipelines, renovation of an essential road connecting the area with Gurugram, work related to waste disposal trolleys and the renovation of MCD schools.
He also discussed development activities being undertaken across the country through Centre-sponsored schemes which were a result of the “positive thinking of the Modi government.”
“Today, Indians are feeling proud all around the world. I bow down to the Indian Army whose sacrifice was not wasted and Masood Azhar was declared as an international terrorist...it is necessary to increase the strength of nationalist powers and elect the BJP once again,” he told his audience.
Mr. Bidhuri also undertook a hike on the Bhool Bhulaiya Road from Mehrauli to Andheria Modh followed by public meetings at the Vasant Kunj Community Centre where he cited the “misdeeds” of the Arvind Kejriwal government which was now “spreading false rumours through social networking sites” to “confuse the people through their propaganda” against the BJP and its candidates.
