As BJP govt marks first anniversary after returning to power in Delhi, CM flags off 500 electric buses

Highlighting the Delhi government’s upcoming policy for electric vehicles, she also stated that there will soon be a policy to regularise e-rickshaws. Taking a dig at the previous AAP government, the CM said, “This day last year was a historic one when the BJP won 48 out of 70 seats. During the last government, people used to even long for basic necessities such as clean water, proper sewer and basic healthcare. But the people of Delhi gave a befitting reply.”

Calling out her predecessor, Arvind Kejriwal, Gupta implied that the AAP chief was arrogant during his tenure. “Kejriwal used to say — ‘You will have to be reborn to defeat me’. But people in this lifetime itself showed him from this very ground of Ramlila Maidan and changed the atmosphere of the city last year.”

Meanwhile, BJP chief Nitin Nabin, who was also present at the event, congratulated the present government for having the highest number of EV buses among any city in India. “This government has proven its commitment towards zero tolerance for corruption, accountability and its promise towards digital transparency,” he said, adding that the new fleet will help reduce traffic congestion and curb pollution.
