BJP’s Virendra Sachdeva holds door-to-door campaign to support party candidate in East Delhi

New Delhi [India], May 12 (ANI): Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party president Virendra Sachdeva held a door-to-door campaign in support of party candidate Harsh Malhotra from the East Delhi Lok Sabha seat on Sunday.

The BJP leader campaigned in the East Delhi area for the fourth phase of Lok Sabha elections in the national capital.

Speaking about Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal during the campaign, Virendra Sachdeva said, “He is out on bail with very few days left. He knows he will be back in jail on June 2. His disappointment is evident. Unfortunately, Delhi has got a CM who cannot sign any papers and who cannot visit the Secretariat.”

Meanwhile, Virendraa Sachdeva and Union Minister General VK Singh also flagged off a bike rally in support of Prime Minister Narendra Modi here in the national capital.

The rally organised by the Sikh community was led by party leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa.

This comes nearly two weeks ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in the National Capital and a day after Delhi Chief Arvind Kejriwal attacked PM Modi, alleging, “He left no stone unturned to crush his party.”

All seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi will vote on May 25. Aam Admi Party and Congress are jointly fighting the elections. As per the arrangement, AAP will be contesting 4 seats and Congress on 3.

“The youth have taken out a bike rally to show support of the Sikh community for PM Narendra Modi (for Delhi Lok Sabha seats). He has made untiring efforts to strengthen our community, be it taking action against the 1984 riots accused, making the Kartarpur Sahib corridor, celebrating Veer Bal Diwas to remember the sacrifice of the four sons of Guru Gobind Singh, or rescuing the Sikh community from Afghanistan,” Sirsa told ANI amid the rally

He also lashed out at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

“Arvind Kejriwal has been frustrated ever since he came out of jail and that is why he has been lying,” he said.
