Addressing a public meeting in support of BJP candidate Harsh Malhotra in Laxmi Nagar, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that grand temples would come up in Mathura and Kashi if the BJP managed to win 400 seats. Looking back at the record of BJP governments, Sarma underlined how commitments made by the party were fulfilled—for instance, the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya. He underscored Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership in delivering on commitments.
Addressing a concerning incident involving AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's official residence, Sarma called for the vice president to take proactive action. He drew attention to previous complaints of harassment against a Delhi chief secretary by Kejriwal and deplored the alleged assault on Maliwal. Sarma urged the vice president, who is the chairman of the Rajya Sabha, to step in and probe the matter.
Maliwal had filed a complaint at the Civil Lines Police Station, accusing one of Kejriwal's personal staff of assault when she went to the chief minister's residence. Sarma criticized the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), contrasting the allure of historical landmarks like the Lal Qila (Red Fort) and the Qutub Minar with Kejriwal's focus on Mohalla Clinics, which he claimed were in poor condition. He pledged the establishment of medical colleges and super-specialty hospitals in every district of Assam and proposed similar developments for the national capital if the BJP secures victory in the upcoming elections.
The public gathering also saw the presence of local MLA Abhay Verma, deputy president of Delhi BJP Lata Gupta, and numerous other BJP leaders and supporters.
