The BJP needs to rule at all three levels-- the Centre, Delhi and MCDs-- to ensure smooth work on development projects in the national capital, Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari said at a 'Khichdi lunch' hosted by him for party leaders and workers.
The lunch hosted at Tiwari's residence was also attended by former AAP MLAs Devender Sehrawat and Anil Bajpai. They had joined the BJP recently.
"People need to be convinced that development of the city will take place in a smooth manner if BJP is in power at all three levels, including the Centre, Delhi and the municipal corporations," Tiwari told party leaders and workers.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) registered a historic victory in the recently held Lok Sabha polls. It already rules the three municipal corporations in Delhi and is now eyeing the Assembly polls due early 2020.
"The next six months will be a testing time for all of us because Assembly elections are going to be held in early 2020," Tiwari said.
He asked the partymen to popularise the slogan of "Desh Me Modi, Dilli Me BJP, Tabhi Banegi Baat" to every doorstep in the city.
