Amit Shah urges voters to come out in large numbers in Delhi Assembly elections
New Delhi: In response to unfulfilled promises, the city’s persistent problems with a polluted Yamuna, damaged roads, and insufficient public amenities, Union Home Minister Amit Shah called on voters to turn out in force for the Delhi Assembly elections on Wednesday.
Shah emphasized the need to choose a government with a track record of promoting public welfare and a clear plan for the development of the capital in a post on X.
“I urge my siblings who plan to cast ballots in the Delhi Assembly elections to do so in opposition to damaged roads, tainted water, booze stores, contaminated Yamuna, and false promises. Vote in big numbers today to elect a government with a proven track record of promoting public welfare and a clear plan for Delhi’s future growth. With only one vote, Delhi might become the world’s most advanced capital,” he remarked.
JP Nadda, the president of the BJP and a union minister, also urged people to cast their ballots.
“The Delhi Assembly elections are being conducted today. In order to put an end to the reign of corruption and scams and elect a government committed to the care of the underprivileged and the young for a developed Delhi, I urge the people of Delhi to cast their ballots in huge numbers. Nadda said, “Your one vote will prove to be helpful in further strengthening democracy.”
One vote will be crucial in strengthening democracy and establishing a government free from corruption and appeasement, according to Union Minister Nitin Gadkari.
I urge all of my voting siblings who are casting ballots in today’s Delhi Assembly elections, particularly my young friends who are exercising their right to vote for the first time, to take full advantage of this democratic celebration and help make Delhi powerful, affluent, and “developed.” Every vote you cast will be crucial to strengthening democracy and creating an administration free from appeasement and corruption. Your involvement is crucial to creating a Delhi that is inclusive, development-focused, and pollution-free,” Gadkari wrote on X.
Voters cast votes for the 8th Assembly in Delhi under strict security as polling for 70 assembly seats got underway Wednesday morning. According to authorities, voting will start at 7:00 am and go until 6:00 pm.
The seats of Jangpura and New Delhi are hotly fought. The AAP, which now controls almost 60 of the assembly’s 70 members, is running for reelection on the strength of its past performance.
Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal (AAP), Parvesh Verma of the BJP, and Sandeep Dikshit of the Congress (son of former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit) are in a high-profile three-way race for the New Delhi seat.
Manish Sisodia of the AAP, Farhad Suri of the Congress, and Tarvinder Singh Marwah of the BJP will compete in Jangpura.
For the 70 assembly constituency seats in the nation’s capital, 699 individuals are running for office.
83,76,173 men, 72,36,560 women, and 1,267 third-gender voters make up Delhi’s 1,56,14,000 registered voters. Additionally, 239,905 first-time voters between the ages of 18 and 19, 109,368 senior citizens 85 and older, and 79,885 people with impairments make up the electorate.
