Delhi BJP Chief's "Votes Before Lunch" Motto for MCD Bypolls

He indicated that the upcoming by-elections are an opportunity for our workers to prepare for the main Municipal Corporation elections of 2027.

He addressed the supporters, Vistarak workers, and booth managers of the BJP candidates -- Dr Chandrakanta from Naraina ward and Suman Kumar Gupta from Chandni Chowk ward -- in the Delhi Municipal Corporation by-elections.

At the Naraina ward conference, Karol Bagh District President Virendra Babbar, Naraina Mandal President Anshu Tanwar, MLAs Umang Bajaj and Harish Khurana, State Vice President Vinay Rawat, Minister Sona Kumari, former MLA Subhash Sachdeva, along with all Vistarak workers and booth managers were present.

Addressing the workers of Naraina and Chandni Chowk wards, Sachdeva said that both these wards are our traditional strongholds.

"We won Naraina even in adverse circumstances in 2022, and Chandni Chowk -- after a long time -- was lost by a small margin in 2022. Today, the voter regrets it, and we will win both wards again," he said.

Sachdeva added that it is essential to ensure that every vote within our network is cast. "Our motto must be 'Our votes before lunch.' If we work with this resolve, a big victory is certain."
