The Modi government has given 5 kg free foodgrains to 80 crore poor people, houses for 3.5 crore poor families, gas cylinders for more than 10 crore poor, electricity to 2.62 lakh homes in 6 lakh villages, and constructed toilets in 12 lakh homes, he said.

Around 1,000 slum cluster leaders attended the event that was warmly welcomed by Delhi BJP's Election Incharge, MP Baijayant Panda.

HM Shah said that last year, on this very same day, there was the victorious chant of Ram Lalla's Pran Pratishtha (consecration), and today the BJP has given the war cry for forming the Delhi government.

He further stated that in 26 weeks, Delhi BJP has engaged with slum residents, listening to their woes, anger over unfulfilled promises, and even listed out their concerns to initiate solutions.

"When our manifesto comes, it will address every pain you face. The BJP's manifesto is not like that of the AAP, where they take votes and return after five years with new false promises. The BJP's manifesto is Modi's guarantee, and it will be fulfilled on the ground," said Shah.

He asked the slum dwellers to be the liberators of Delhi, to free it from "AAP-da" or calamity.

"On February 5, a day of liberation from corruption, dirty water, and insensitive, lying government will be marked," he said.

He mentioned Anna Hazare's anti-corruption movement which was misused by AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal to mislead Delhiites and formed government, only to break all records of corruption later.

He criticized AAP for being the disaster for Delhi and said that Arvind Kejriwal is the disaster for AAP itself. Wherever Kejriwal and Sisodia go, all they show is bottles of alcohol to the people.

He said Kejriwal is a liar, betrayer, corrupt, and insensitive person.

His government has been insensitive to the poor and has lied to the people of Delhi who get filthy water

The highest number of failures in Class 9 and 11 is also seen in Delhi, added Shah, noting 5.25 lakh children remain out of access to schools while many buy their water from the tanks and bottles.
