With civic agencies elections in Delhi just a few months away, Delhi BJP is all set to reshuffle its party members. On Monday, Delhi BJP president and MP, North East District, Manoj Tewari, told The Pioneer in an exclusive interview that the party will work hard to win hearts and minds of Delhiites. Also, Tewari vowed to make the national Capital free from pollution, traffic jams and to clean it under the Swacch Bharat Abhiyan. According to Tewari, the party would highlight failures of the Arvind Kejriwal Government. The party leaders and workers have been visiting slums and JJ cluster colonies to assess the work done by the Government. Tewari said AAP leaders have no issue that's why they are making false propaganda against him pertaining to Statehood of Delhi. Excepts:
Recently, an AAP MlA alleged that you are against the full Statehood of Delhi. Is it rightIJ
It is a false statement. We have given them a befitting reply with 2,100 tweets. They (Opposition AAP) should read the full statement. Kejriwal, in his "hurry" to lodge his opposition, was latching on to a "false report".
What are your strategies to win hearts and minds of DelhiitesIJ
The people feel that they have been cheated. Today, I visited Karol Bagh and a woman offered me gulluk and asked, “Get us freedom from Arvind Kejriwal.” Other parties have used these people as their vote bank. I was shocked when a woman told me please provide subsidy on milk. The realities are different here. Citizens are deprived of basic needs. The party will launch door-to-door campaign, deploy our party workers and then will decide role and position of party workers.
What are the preparations for upcoming civic agencies electionsIJ
While interacting with different communities, we are asking about their problems and their needs. Once we collect all the data we will form a set of questionnaire and then will send it to Arvind Kejriwal. I will invite the Chief Minister publicly and will ask him about the false promises as they have won with majority in Assembly elections. They have not fulfilled several of their promises.
Delhi CM and people are opposing demonetisation. What do you thinkIJ
Normalcy will take time as it is a fight against corruption. People are supporting us. And those oppose this fight are actually supporting corruption.
By joining hands with Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, Delhi CM has already projected a face for Purvanchalies. In such a situation what will be your action plansIJ
Nitishji will work in Bihar. He will not do anything for Delhi people and we are not working on strategies.
