In the large garden behind the party office, a special Swiss tent with 400 seats has been set up as a meeting hall, along with various election management committee cabins for different election activities. Additionally, a Swiss tent has been set up on the right side of the entrance gate of the office in the garden area for press conference hall, media seating, party spokesperson room and dining area.

In puja programme, MPs Harsh Vardhan and Ramesh Bidhuri, Organisational General Secretary Pawan Rana, all seven candidates,  Manoj Tiwari, Ramveer Singh Bidhuri, Harsh Malhotra, Kamaljeet Sahrawat, Yogendra Chandoliya, Praveen Khandelwal, and Bansuri Swaraj, Election Management Committee Coordinator Ajay Mahavar, former President Vijendra Gupta, and Aadesh Gupta, along with senior leaders of the party, election management committee members, state officials, district presidents, MLAs, councillors, and workers were present.

In his welcome address, State president Sachdeva said today the whole country has pledged to make Prime Minister Narendra Modi the Prime Minister for the third time, and for this pledge, our seven candidates are continuously working hard.

He said that today we are fortunate that OP Dhankar will guide us in the Lok Sabha elections.

In his address, Hardeep Singh Puri commented on Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest saying Kejriwal has been accusing others of lies and shortcomings from the beginning. When Delhi turned into a gas chamber due to pollution, he blamed the entire fault on Punjab, but when his party’s government was formed in Punjab, the situation worsened.

Puri said Kejriwal accuses that he was arrested without any reason, but why does he not tell that after nine summons since November 2023, he was arrested on the 10th summons by the ED. He said inside Delhi, Kejriwal’s politics is now limited for a short period of time. When Puri was asked how serious challenge the AAP-Congress alliance in Delhi was for the BJP, he said, “Which alliance? What are you talking about? They (Congress) have not released the names of candidate.”

He slammed AAP and its leaders saying they joined politics pledging to fight corruption and now they have allied with the “most corrupt” Congress.
