Delhi BJP's election coincharge and Member of Parliament from Ghaziabad, Atul Garg, in an exclusive interview with The Sunday Guardian, stated that the BJP's campaign is primarily focused on exposing the wrongdoings of the Kejriwal government over the past decade.

Q. Given that the BJP has been out of power in Delhi for 30 years, what strategies is the party implementing to end this prolonged period without governance in the upcoming Assembly elections?

A. This election is not about BJP versus Kejriwal, but about the people of Delhi taking a stand against the misdeeds of Arvind Kejriwal's government over the last 11 years. This is a people's election, and they are with us to remove the Kejriwal government from Delhi. For that, we don't need any specific strategy.

Q. What key issues and agendas will the BJP emphasise in its campaign for the Delhi Assembly elections?

A. The campaign aims to highlight the shortcomings of the Kejriwal government.

Key issues include Delhi's economic crisis, the failure to implement central schemes like Ayushman Bharat and Awas Yojana, and broken promises such as the provision of free, clean water, which instead resulted in residents receiving contaminated water. The city's sanitation system has also worsened. Additionally, the campaign will focus on unfulfilled promises to students, the deteriorating state of the Yamuna River, and the disappointment of Delhiites who feel misled by Kejriwal's assurances of a better lifestyle.

Q. How does the BJP respond to opposition allegations about the deteriorating law and order situation in Delhi?
