In a move to consolidate its political foothold in the national Capital, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has amplified its campaign against the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, focussing on what it termed as public dissatisfaction and the promise of a "double-engine government" to transform Delhi. The election office of the BJP for the upcoming Delhi Assembly polls was inaugurated at the Pant Marg headquarters of the party's state unit on Saturday in the presence of senior leaders.

The slogan 'Ab Nahi Sahenge, Badal Kar Rahenge' (will not tolerate now, will bring change) as a theme for the feedback exercise for the manifesto, was given by Panda on the occasion. BJP leaders, speaking on the occasion, said the people of Delhi have had enough and now they want to remove AAP from power to get relief from dirty water supply, damaged roads, expensive electricity and high levels of pollution.

Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva performed a 'havan' along with his wife with the party's state election in-charge Baijayant Panda, election coordination committee chairman and Union minister Harsh Malhotra, MPs, Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, Manoj Tiwari, Kamaljeet Sehrawat, Bansuri Swaraj, Yogendra Chandolia, Praveen Khandelwal and others in attendance.

Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva, while addressing party workers and the press, said there was a "prevailing sentiment of dissatisfaction among the people of Delhi."

Commenting on the poster released by the BJP on Saturday, which says, 'Ab nahi sahenge, badal ke rahenge (we will not tolerate anymore, we will bring change)' Sachdeva remarked that it was the people's slogan.

This is the slogan of the people of Delhi. When we were preparing the manifesto engaging with the people and meeting traders, Residents Welfare Associations, and speaking to the public at large, including those living in slums, everyone shared the same opinion, they want to be free from Arvind Kejriwal. They will no longer tolerate him and want change," Sachdeva said.

He further emphasised that this dissatisfaction has turned into a collective call for change. “It is from this sentiment that the call for change has arisen — we will no longer tolerate this, we will bring change, and we will form the BJP government in Delhi,” he added.

The BJP has framed its campaign around the idea of aligning Delhi’s governance with the policies and vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“The people of Delhi understand that only a double-engine government, one at the state and the other at the Centre, can bring real development to the national Capital,” Sachdeva stated, asserting that Delhi’s improvement requires synergy between the local and central governments.

Panda and other leaders also flagged off a fleet of vans that will tour across Delhi to gather feedback from the public for the party manifesto for the Assembly polls.

“All the vans flagged off from the Delhi BJP office will travel to 14 different districts, where BJP workers will be present. An in-charge has been appointed for each van according to its respective district. Public suggestions will be collected in suggestion boxes placed in these vans, and based on these suggestions, the BJP will prepare its Sankalp Patra for the upcoming 2025 assembly elections,” Panda said. Convenor of the Sankalp Committee and MP Mr. Ramveer Singh Bidhuri stated that a better and comprehensive Sankalp Patra (resolution document) will be prepared by the committee.

Elections for the 70-member Delhi Assembly are due to be held in February next year. The BJP out of power in Delhi since 1998, is making all-out efforts to end the dominance of the Aam Aadmi Party led by Arvind Kejriwal.

Meanwhile, in a caustic comment over the BJP's slogan, AAP supremo Kejriwal claimed the "will bring change" motto of the opposition party reflected that it intends to stop all the works done by his party's government in Delhi. In a post on X, he said "They have today officially announced that they will change everything. It means, the 24-hour electricity supply will stop and there will be long power cuts with bills of thousands of rupees, free bus travel for women will end, all schools will be ruined, Mohalla Clinics will be shut and free medicines and treatment will stop."He asked people to vote carefully since the BJP has made its intentions clear now.
