BJP candidate from the high-profile New Delhi constituency, Parvesh Verma, cast his vote in the Delhi Assembly elections on Wednesday, accompanied by his family at a polling booth in Nirman Bhawan.

 

Speaking to the media following his vote, Verma exuded confidence in the BJP's victory, asserting, "This is the voting for the golden future of our Delhi. I urge everyone to definitely cast their vote. We need to come together to advance Modi ji's vision for Delhi."

 

Taking a swipe at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), he predicted that "on February 8, they will raise questions about the EVMs because the BJP government is coming to power."

 

Verma further expressed optimism about the public's response, adding, "The messages we are receiving from Delhi show that the people are very eager to form a BJP government. On February 8, the lotus will bloom. The people of Delhi have now recognised the lies. This time, they are voting to bring development and Modi ji's vision to Delhi."
