On securing the Congress ticket for Gurgaon: Grover shared that his local connections, experience in electoral battles, and commitment to Congress ideology made him a strong candidate. His performance as an independent in the 2019 election, where he garnered 48,600 votes, also played a role in convincing the leadership.
Vision for Gurugram: Grover emphasized the need for integrated development of both the old and new parts of the city. His focus includes improving infrastructure, such as roads, water supply, and transportation, while addressing congestion. He criticized the multiple agencies involved for failing to deliver on these fronts.
Criticism of BJP’s governance: He accused the BJP government of not delivering on key infrastructure projects, such as Metro construction and road improvements. Grover argued that the BJP has not lived up to the “Millennium City” tag for Gurugram, with most development projects coming from NHAI, not the state government.
Plan for affordable housing: Grover promised to raise the voice of homebuyers stuck in failed projects. He also pledged to reform the affordable housing policy to make it viable for developers and provide government-backed real estate projects at reasonable prices.
Lessons from 2019 elections: Having contested the previous elections, Grover noted that he now has more experience and broader community support. He is better prepared to face the challenges of the upcoming elections.
Women’s safety in Gurugram: Grover’s top priority is enhancing women’s security. He proposed increasing the number of female police officers, expanding CCTV surveillance, and setting up women’s help desks at police stations. He also plans to improve public infrastructure with better lighting, transportation, and awareness campaigns on women’s rights.
