Mumbai: As soon as voting began in the national capital this morning, former cricketer and BJP MLA Gautam Gambhir said that his party has not promised anything that could be called unrealistic.
He also attacked Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and said that he had failed to deliver on his promises.
“Ultimately the test is about finding out who people want to tie up with. What BJP has promised is not an unrealistic promise, but achievable. The BJP hasn’t promised to make Delhi like London, Paris or New York, but the party will work on the basic development of the people,” Gambhir told ANI.
“Every election is an exam and Delhi’s exam is the toughest because we are fighting against the person who is spreading lies about development. He has failed to fulfil every promise he has made. BJP for 20 years It is not in power and it gets a chance because we really want to work for Delhi, ”he said.
