'THINGS LOOKING UP FOR US IN LAST 15-20 DAYS'
The Morning Standard
|January 15, 2025
DELHI cabinet minister Gopal Rai, who holds Environment, Forest and Wildlife, Development and General Administration Department portfolios, is one of the prominent AAP faces who held the fort when other senior leaders were behind bars.
-
He is contesting from the Babarpur assembly constituency a seat he has won twice. In an exclusive interview with Anup Verma, Rai shared his views on the three-cornered contest in the Delhi polls. Excerpts:
What kind of public feedback are you receiving while campaigning?
A. BJP has made several attempts (to defame us). However, compared to its governments in 20 states, the AAP government's performance in the national capital has been better. So, after several rounds of deliberations and ground assessment in Babarpur assembly constituency as well as entire Delhi, people have the perception that AAP's government is better than others.
BJP is saying that the ruling party has no respect for poorvanchali people. Do you think this narrative is resonating with voters?
