“Under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership, we are very keen that Delhi gets a government which serves its people. And that’s something which is the need of the hour for attaining Viksit Bharat 2047,” Sitharaman said in a press conference here.

Further, she said India‘s national capital should have a government which serves the cause of its people. “I strongly believe that the road map that the Prime Minister has set for the country should certainly take Delhi on the top priority and serve its people from every point of view, for all the Human Development Indicator related issues and also the fundamental infrastructure, schools, hospitals, people’s healthcare, and the capital worth India’s Viksit Bharat aspirations,” she said.

Under PM @narendramodi’s guidance and @BJP4India adhyaksh ji Shri. @JPNadda ’s leadership we dedicate to serve the aspirations of the people of Delhi.
