Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from West Delhi, Kamaljeet Sehrawat, cast her vote along with her family on Saturday during the sixth phase of the Lok Sabha elections. Sehrawat expressed strong confidence in her victory, attributing it to Prime Minister Modi’s developmental efforts over the past decade.
“Today is a very important day. We have campaigned for 84 long days, including nukkad meetings, roadshows, rallies, and drawing room meetings. We are confident of winning these elections because we have connected with people on the ground. We have received immense blessings from people, largely due to the PM’s efforts over the last 10 years,” Sehrawat told ANI.
Addressing questions about the challenge posed by her opponent, Mahabal Mishra, Sehrawat emphasized her campaign’s focus on the BJP’s achievements and future agenda. “We are fighting these elections based on our 10-year report card and are further communicating our agenda for the next five years. We fight elections on our own merits and principles. We are confident of winning with a majority,” she stated.
Mahabal Mishra, formerly a Congress Party member, joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in 2022, adding another layer of competition in the West Delhi constituency. In the 2019 elections, BJP’s Parvesh Verma won the seat, with Mishra as the runner-up and AAP’s Balbir Jakhar in third place.
