Modi’s remarks came during an election rally in the Rohini area, where he strongly criticized the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi, accusing it of having wasted the past decade on conflicts with the Centre.
Modi described the AAP-led government as a “disaster” for the national capital and urged Delhiites to give the BJP a chance to bring about a transformative change, turning the city into a “city of the future.”
“ Only when this disaster is gone will we bring in the double-engine of development,” Modi asserted, referring to the synergy between the Centre and Delhi's governance under BJP rule.
He pointed to the progress made by the Centre in Delhi, including the expansion of the Metro network, the development of highways, and the launch of initiatives like the Namo Bharat Regional Rapid Transit System and large hospitals. However, he contrasted these advancements with the state of infrastructure in Delhi, citing issues like pothole-ridden roads, overflowing sewers, and traffic congestion that has left auto and cab drivers unwilling to operate in certain areas.

"At a time when the people were suffering, the AAP government was busy building a 'Sheesh Mahal' for itself," Modi said, alleging that the AAP government’s priorities were misaligned with the needs of the people.
Modi also addressed concerns that a potential BJP government in Delhi would eliminate welfare schemes. He reassured the public, stating that the BJP would not stop any welfare programs but would instead improve their execution, particularly focusing on central schemes that the AAP government had stalled.
“Under the AAP government, Delhi has faced one crisis after another: water shortages, waterlogging, pollution, and a city gripped by constant ‘aapda’. Only when the AAP is removed can Delhi experience true progress with a double engine of development and good governance,” Modi said.
