Community leaders, party supporters, and guests attended the event. Dr. Najma Heptulla, former Deputy Speaker of the Rajya Sabha and former Minister of Minority Affairs, was the chief guest. Addressing the gathering, Dr. Heptulla underscored the significance of democracy in a diverse nation like India.

The event opened with the chanting of the Shanti Mantra by Rohit Joshi, Dushyant Patel and patriotic song by Prerna Awasthi & Kavita Gupta.

National Social Media Coordinator Nirmala Reddy and OFBJP State Coordinator Amar Upadhayay welcomed attendees and thanked them for their support for the BJP.

Rakesh Malhotra emphasized the dedication and efforts of BJP volunteers and the electorate’s decisive mandate. “The people of Delhi have voted for progress, rejecting misrule and corruption. This marks a new beginning for the capital,” he said. Delhi needs clean air, drinking water, safe roads, and congestion-free traffic, yet none of these fundamental needs were addressed, he added.

Dr. Adapa Prasad, president of OFBJP USA, congratulated the people of Delhi and appreciated the efforts of all volunteers and supporters for helping the campaign.

Reddy echoed similar sentiments. “This victory is not just political; it is a resounding endorsement of the BJP’s commitment to honest, effective governance. The people have spoken, and we are dedicated to fulfilling their aspirations,” Reddy said.

Highlighting the pivotal role of women and the middle class in BJP’s success, Amar Upadhayay said, “From safety to employment and better urban facilities, our commitment remains steadfast. This victory signifies the trust placed in us by families seeking a better future.”

Shailesh Rajput, a prominent voice in the Indian American community, emphasized the collective effort required to build a stronger and more vibrant Delhi. Siddesh Shevde stated, “For a developed India, it is important that the national capital is developed.”

Several community leaders and diaspora members also spoke, including Rajender Thakkar, Yogesh Shah, Joy Shah, Vandana Jhingan, Shridhar Damle, Nirav Patel, Amitabh Mittal, Phani Krishnan, Shilesh Rajput, Radhika Garimella, Ramesh Choksi, Abhinav Raina, Chetan Rege, Rohit Joshi,  Anurag Awasthi, Avatans Kumar, and Anil Singh.
