Mohan Singh Bisht, the newly elected BJP MLA from Mustafabad, on Sunday said that the name of the area would soon be changed to Shivpuri or Shiv Vihar. He won the seat by defeating AAP candidate Adeel Ahmad Khan by 17,578 votes.
He said, 'The official data says that Muslims are 45 per cent but wherever I have travelled, I have seen that Muslims are 60 per cent and Hindus are 40 per cent. We will conduct a census and also change the name of the area from Mustafabad to Shiv Vihar or Shivpuri."
Regarding his election from Mustafabad, he said that the senior leaders of the organisation blessed him and he extended the credit of his victory to the top leadership of BJP.
In his last five-year tenure, he was an MLA from Karawal Nagar, however, his seat was changed in this election. Reacting to it, Bisht said, "I was sad when my seat was changed but I returned to this seat after 17 years. I was asked to contest from Mustafabad but the organisation was worried that there might be a game of 19-20 from Mustafabad but I was sure that we would win. I was sad that why my seat was changed because my people were there and I was continuously working there after winning the election."
On 2020 riots, he said, "The riots of 2020 saddened me a lot. A boy named Ankit Sharma was hacked to death. Someone's hands were chopped off and his eyes were gouged out. I had never seen anything like this happening in Delhi. And I was even dragged into the allegations of those riots, but later the court cleared the air."
He also called Kejriwal juggler. He did nothing for the people of Delhi in 10 to 11 years and made national capital's condition worse, he added.
