The Delhi unit of Congress has begun preparations for the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections, scheduled for February-March next year. In light of the elections, Delhi Congress President Devender Yadav, along with Congress National Secretary Sukhvinder Singh Danny, launched seven vans equipped with sound systems and a vacant chair for residents to sit and share their views on how to improve the city’s infrastructure and services. This initiative aims to help realize the dream of a vibrant and developed Delhi, which Congress claims to have built during its 15-year rule, prior to the alleged misgovernance, neglect, and corruption that followed under the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government.
Delhi Congress chief, stated while speaking to The Daily Guardian, that Kejriwal, along with Delhi ministers and AAP MLAs, has been repeatedly involved in legal issues, with some going in and out of jail for various offenses. He added that Congress plans to expose the corruption and shortcomings of the Kejriwal government during the “Dilliwalon Aao—Dilli Chalao” outreach campaign, where vans will tour all seven Lok Sabha constituencies. The feedback collected from the public on how to make Delhi their ideal city will be incorporated into Congress’ manifesto for the upcoming Assembly elections.
Yadav further mentioned that during a recent event in Connaught Place where Congress announced its Manifesto Committees, a vacant chair was placed on stage as a symbolic gesture, representing the public’s role in choosing the Chief Minister. He criticized AAP for betraying the trust of the people through corruption and incompetence, stating that the people of Delhi now look to Congress for a stable and capable government. He accused AAP of turning the capital into a hub of corruption over the past decade and suggested that despite CM Atishi keeping the chair used by Kejriwal empty, hoping for his return to power, the voters had already made up their minds to bring Congress back. Yadav emphasized that Congress’ manifesto will reflect the suggestions of Delhi’s citizens, ensuring their vision for the city shapes its future.
