Calls for Collaborative Approach
Earlier, Sandhu told reporter that Delhi has been his ‘karmabhoomi’ (workplace). He called for solution oriented approach across party lines to resolve the challenges faced by the national capital.
Sandhu said, “Delhi has several stakeholders, and Delhi has also been my karmabhoomi (workplace). I have studied and worked here. Together we will work for Delhi’s development. PM Modi has a vision for India, and Delhi is the capital. The elected government and all the stakeholders have a responsibility. The challenges will keep on increasing. However, there are challenges in other places as well. It is our responsibility to turn challenges into opportunities. Everyone together, irrespective of the party, must work together to find solutions to the various problems.” (ANI)
