Rajkumar Bhatia on BJP’s strategy
Speaking about the party’s strategy, he said that the organization worked hard at the micro level by reaching out to voters at every booth. He said, “We went to every slum. Met every person and people from every section.” Giving the credit for the victory to PM Modi, he said this time they worked in a different way. They delivered PM Modi’s letter to every house by going door to door and meeting everyone. He said, “We told people about PM Modi’s schemes and assured them that these are not just promises, but we will fulfil these schemes.”
Who will be next Delhi CM?
On the question of the name of the next Delhi CM, Bhatia said, that the party will make a decision on that issue. He said, “I also have a name in mind but it is confidential. I will only give the name of a leader better than me. I have no desire to become the Chief Minister. Whatever decision the party takes. That decision will be accepted after the meeting.”
The Delhi Assembly election yielded a major victory for the BJP and a loss to the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party. AAP which had 62 seats out of 70 seats in the last assembly has been reduced to 22 in this election. While the BJP rose from 8 to 48, making inroads in Delhi after 27 years.
