New Delhi, February 8:
In the Delhi Assembly elections, like the last two times, Congress could not open its account this time. Whereas this time Congress had put in all its strength. Its big leaders Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and many national leaders had campaigned. Apart from this, to attract the public towards it, it had promised to start more public welfare schemes than BJP and Aam Aadmi Party, but the voters of Delhi did not lean towards it. During the election campaign, many leaders of Congress had claimed that their party would be successful in regaining its old political ground.
Congress had fielded many senior leaders in this election. Apart from this, it had also placed bets on some new faces, in which more priority was given to young leaders. Apart from this, Congress had given special attention to those areas where it traditionally had a strong hold, but despite these efforts, Congress could not even regain its old position.
Not only this, it could not even get the respect of 2013
elections. At that time it had won eight seats. Hence, no significant improvement was seen in its performance. Whereas before 2013, Congress had a strong mass base. It had formed the government in 1998, 2003 and 2008. In this way, this is a big setback because there was a tough competition between BJP and Aam Aadmi Party in the Delhi elections and Congress had hoped that it would be able to regain its old position. After the election results, BJP and Aam Aadmi Party have also raised questions on the performance of Congress. Their leaders have claimed that Congress has lost the trust of the voters of Delhi. There has been a slight increase in its voting percentage. Whereas its leaders were making big claims.
