BJP leader Gautam Gambhir, along with his family, cast his vote in Delhi polls today.
As polling began in the national capital this morning, former cricketer and BJP MP Gautam Gambhir said that his party has not promised anything which can be termed as unrealistic.
He also launched an attack on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, saying that he has failed to deliver on his promises.
"Ultimately the test is about knowing with whom the people want to align with. Whatever the BJP has promised is not unrealistic promises but are achievable. The BJP hasn't promised to make Delhi like London, Paris or New York, but the party will work on the basic development of the people," Mr Gambhir said.
"Every election is a test and Delhi's test is the toughest as we are fighting against the person who is spreading lies about development. He failed to deliver on every promise he had made. The BJP hasn't been in power for 20 years and should get a chance as we really want to work for the Delhi," he added.
