BJP’s Manoj Tiwari Speaks Out
BJP MP Manoj Tiwari urged voters to choose a government that will operate with a “double engine,” calling out the AAP and Congress for their differences. Tiwari stated, “The people of Delhi will vote for a government that unites, not one that fights. They will choose the one who says ‘Khelo India’ over those who promote divisive messages. On February 5, Delhi will choose a BJP government for the next 5 years.”
