CM Rekha Gupta added that the government's achievement resulted directly from its work and the public's vote. She criticised the opposition for running a 'government of advertisement' that failed the city, neglecting poor roads and garbage heaps. She maintained that her government 'delivered progress', unlike the previous one, executing major projects daily without relying on hoardings.

"For years, Delhi was entangled in issues...there was nobody to listen...it was a government of advertisements only...our government executes major projects for the capital city daily...how many advertisements did we put up? We don't even put hoardings...we simply deliver new initiatives to the people of Delhi..." she stated.

Rapid development and commitment to Delhi

The CM highlighted her government's pace of development, pointing out that they have provided 1,400 buses within eight months of implementation. She contrasted this sharply with the previous administration, which she claimed could only bring 2,000 buses in 11 years. The Delhi CM concluded by stating that since the Bhartiya Janata Party was brought to power, they are committed to working for Delhi '24*7'.

"Today, we are giving 40 electric buses to Delhi and a bus terminal...Just two days ago, we delivered 50 buses to Delhi...We are giving 40 more today...The Delhi government has issued 1,400 buses to the people of Delhi within eight months...The previous government brought only 2,000 buses in 11 years," she said (as reported by ANI).
