"With PM Modi's 11 years of governance and the backing of local bodies, it's time to ensure Delhi gets what it rightfully deserves," he asserted. He also highlighted the impact of the "triple-engine government" visible across the Centre, Delhi, and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi.

Puri, recalling Delhi's evolution since the partition, observed the city's population surge past two crores due to migratory waves. Meanwhile, Union Minister of Ports, Shipping & Waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal, projected India would become the world's third-largest economy by 2029, attributing the progress to Modi's decisive governance.
