New Delhi [India], May 25 : As the sixth phase of the Lok Sabha election got underway, Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva cast his vote at a polling booth in Mayur Vihar Phase 1 on Saturday.
Emphasizing the importance of this electoral exercise, Sachdeva said, "In this festival of democracy, we are delighted to participate, and today we have voted for a developed India and a strong nation."
Sachdeva expressed confidence in the BJP's prospects stating, "We are winning all seven seats in Delhi, and we are going to make PM Modi the Prime Minister for the third time."
Sachdeva also urged voters to cast their ballots early in the day to avoid the scorching heat, noting the high voter turnout despite the high temperatures.
"We had told everyone to come and vote early in the morning. There is a long line of people here. People are enthusiastic and they want to see PM Modi become the Prime Minister for the third time."
Sachdeva was accompanied by his family, who also voted.
BJP candidate Harsh Malhotra from East Delhi also cast his vote along with extended family members.
"The experience of casting the vote is always very good. Our law has given us the strength to choose who our representative in the Parliament will be, which government will run our government and who will be our Prime Minister," Malhotra said.
Malhotra criticized the AAP and its leader Atishi stating, "Their (AAP) frustration can be seen. Atishi is frustrated all the time. She has a lot of pressure from work because Arvind Kejriwal cannot run the government from jail," Malhotra said.
AAP has fielded Kuldeep Kumar from the East Delhi Lok Sabha seat.
