Amidst resounding chants of “Jai Shri Ram”, “Modi Modi”, and “Chandani Chowk ka ek hi laal, Khandelwal Khandelwal”, the BJP candidate, accompanied by his supporters, traversed through the place, exuding confidence.

Engaging directly with residents from all walks of life, Khandelwal’s campaign caravan embarked on a journey through the heart of Chandni Chowk, weaving through the area, known for its significant Muslim population. Khandelwal’s supporters gathered on the streets, showering him with flowers.

From meetings with resident welfare associations (RWAs) to roadshows across various locales, Khandelwal left no stone unturned in his quest to connect with constituents. He reiterated his commitment to serving as a dedicated representative for the people.

Addressing residents at Pataudi House, Khandelwal highlighted the importance of voter participation in shaping the future of their constituency.
