She further said that during the past year under the tenure of the Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) mayor, the development of the city had come to a halt, and apart from false promises, nothing had been delivered. She accused them of ruining the city, causing significant harm to Chandigarh.

The entire nation looks up to Narendra Modi and the BJP for the country's progress. People concerned about nation-building are joining the BJP, and today, Gurbaksh Rawat has also joined the party. He extended a warm welcome to her.
