Union Minister Sardar Hardeep Singh Puri on Monday said that Delhi now has a government with purpose that is committed to serving its people.
He also thanked Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva, under whose leadership the BJP formed a government in the national capital after almost 27 years.
Puri was speaking at an exhibition organized at the party office in the city to commemorate the 11 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government centered on service, good governance, and welfare of the poor, as well as the completion of 100 days of the Delhi government.
After inaugurating the exhibition, along with Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, he said, “The milestones set by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta’s government will prove to be significant achievements for Delhiites in the coming days.”
“The Modi government has implemented several public welfare schemes, which are widely known. The exhibition reflects all these accomplishments. Despite the current international challenges, elevating India’s economy to the fourth-largest in the world is a remarkable achievement,” he added.
The minister also expressed pleasure over Delhi’s adoption of electric buses and said he hopes that alongside electric vehicles, progress toward hydrogen energy will accelerate.
He appreciated the current government’s focus on cleaning the Yamuna and addressing landfill issues, noting that significant work is being done to reduce pollution, and visible results will be seen soon.
Meanwhile Rekha Gupta remarked that both the 11 years of the Central Government and the 100 days of the Delhi Government reflect the visible work being done by this “double engine” government.
She expressed disappointment that the previous Delhi government did not give due credit to the Centre’s efforts. She noted that Rs 1.25 lakh crore was provided for roadways, and the Centre also supported landfill site projects.
She further said that development in Delhi will now move at double speed. Whether it’s air pollution, water, electricity, the Yamuna, or roads — work is progressing across all sectors.
