He urged citizens to rise against the current government’s false promises and support a real movement for change.
Arun Kumar Sharma, the NLKP candidate from New Delhi, criticized the AAP government for lawlessness, neglect of women’s security, failure of senior citizens’ pensions, and divisive politics. He shared the growing public support for his candidacy as a beacon of hope for Delhi.
Dr. Sudhir Agrawal elaborated on the Bharat Gathbandhan’s vision of a united and corruption-free political alliance.
Baldev Raj Sood emphasized the importance of strengthening Gram Sabhas for grassroots governance and extended full support to the Jan Andolan initiative for Punjab and Delhi.
