Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal today asked the people of Delhi to choose a government which could deliver on their aspirations including safety of women.
Addressing a poll meeting in favour of BJP-SAD candidate Harmeet Singh Kalka at Kalkaji, she said the future development of Delhi was linked with the party which would come to power in the State.
"Earlier AAP, which was given an opportunity to rule Delhi, treated the people of the State like guinea pigs. Governance is serious business. You cannot subject people to a trial run and then leave them in the lurch," Badal said.
Urging people to choose experience, she said BJP chief ministerial candidate Kiran Bedi had vast administrative experience and could use it to good effect to ensure safety of women.
"As a woman she knows what is needed to protect women and has already laid out a plan in this regard," she said.
Badal also said if people of Delhi choose BJP they could also benefit from the vast experience of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. "We should strengthen his hands so that he can implement this vision", she added.
Hitting out at AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal, the Food Processing minister said he was now resorting to wild promises to woo people. "Kejriwal should explain what he had done in his 49 days in power and why he had abandoned the electorate who had reposed faith in him," she quipped.
Badal also explained to people that if they wanted a better future for their children they should repose faith in BJP, as the union government controlled most of the important departments in Delhi. "This is important to ensure development as well as well as people welfare," she added.
