BJP leader Parvesh Verma, who is one of the key contenders for the Delhi Chief Minister's post, on Sunday (February 9, 2025) said that developing the Yamuna riverfront will be a key priority for his party.
Talking to reporters after paying homage to his father and former chief minister Sahib Singh Verma in his native village in Mundka here, he said the previous Government had neglected rural areas of Delhi and the roads are in a bad condition.
