She also paid tribute to former Delhi Chief Minister Madan Lal Khurana, crediting him for initiating the city's development. "I am here today to pay my respects to late Madan Lal Khurana, whom Delhi still remembers. All the development work that happened in Delhi began during his tenure.

She vowed to complete the projects left unfinished since Khurana's tenure. "We will take forward the work that was left incomplete after his time. We will develop Delhi under the leadership of PM Modi. Today, I am here with his family, cherishing his sacred memories," she added.
