Soon after taking over, Gupta hit out at the Delhi government for not testing enough people for Coronavirus disease (Covid-19) and indulging in a blame game instead.
Adesh Kumar Gupta, who will take charge on Friday after replacing actor-turned-politician Manoj Tiwari as the Delhi BJP chief on Tuesday, said it is important to strengthen the cadre, especially in slums and unauthorized colonies.
In a bid to garner the support of the people living in slum clusters, considered to be an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) stronghold, BJP has planned more such events in the days to come.
The highest turnout, 63.45%, was registered in the North East Delhi LS seat, which largely has unauthorised colonies and slums and small pockets of middle-class neighbourhoods.
