Tony Blair was 'surprised' over work achieved by BJP govt in 100 days in Delhi: Manjinder Sirsa

Former UK PM Tony Blair lauds BJP-led Delhi government's rapid progress in healthcare, environment, and welfare schemes under CM Rekha Gupta.

"He was surprised that achieving this much work in 100 days was possible - Manjinder Sirsa"

New Delhi, June 19

Delhi Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Thursday said that former UK Prime Minister Tony Blar was "surprised" at the work BJP government has achieved in the first 100 days of its tenure in the national capital.

Blair met CM Rekha Gupta and Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa at the Delhi Secretariat here on Thursday.

"Former Prime Minister Tony Blair, who came to meet Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. There was a discussion about the services they provide through NGOs. We also discussed that CM Rekha Gupta completed that in 100 days... He was surprised that achieving this much work in 100 days was possible... He is amused to meet the chief minister of over 30 million people, a very significant figure when compared to the European population," Sirsa said.

"He also explained how PM Modi's vision influences his work. He stated that he would meet the Foreign Minister to congratulate him on India's status today, which compels global relationships; being a friend of India means being a friend of the world, while being an enemy of India isolates one," he added.

Blair also met the Andhra Pradesh Minister and TDP leader Nara Lokesh, and Odisha Deputy Chief Minister Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo.

He showed great interest in the work being done in Delhi under new BJP Govt. He was deeply impressed by the transformative work done in just 100 days... from strengthening public healthcare and launching pro-environment drives to impactful welfare schemes that are truly touching lives. Under the dynamic leadership of CM Rekha Gupta Ji and guided by PM Narendra Modi ji's vision, Delhi is fast becoming a model of inclusive and effective governance."

It's heartening to see global leaders appreciating India's progress! But let's not get carried away by foreign validation - what matters most is ground reality. Hope the government maintains this momentum beyond 100 days. 🇮🇳

As a Delhiite, I've actually noticed cleaner streets and better public services in my area recently. If Tony Blair noticed the changes in just 100 days, maybe there's substance to these claims. Hope they keep it up! 👍

Why are we so obsessed with what foreign leaders think? We should focus on whether common people are benefiting rather than impressing visitors. The real test will be during monsoon when Delhi's infrastructure challenges become visible.

The comparison with European population is interesting. Delhi alone has more people than many European nations! Managing such a megacity is no joke. Hope the government keeps working for all sections of society, not just showcase projects.

Tony Blair recognizing PM Modi's vision shows how far India has come on global stage. From being seen as poor developing nation to now setting governance examples - this is New India we're building! #ViksitBharat

While achievements are good, I hope the government doesn't forget about long-term sustainable development. Quick wins are great, but Delhi needs solutions for pollution, water scarcity and affordable housing that last beyond political terms.
