New Delhi: Delhi Assembly elections have been announced and various political parties have thrown themselves into the elections. Congress, which has been in power in Delhi for 15 consecutive years, has not been able to open its account in the last two assembly elections. However, Congress leaders are busy strengthening their ground for the elections to be held on February 5. Today we are going to tell you in which matters Congress is strong in Delhi, what is the weakness of the party and what big threat is looming over it.
Where is Congress strong in Delhi?
Let us tell you that after the elections, Congress has announced ‘Pyaari Didi Yojana’ in comparison to Aam Aadmi Party’s ‘Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana’ which has a provision of monthly assistance of Rs 2100. It has promised that women will be given monthly financial assistance of Rs 2500 if it comes to power. In this election, Congress has fielded many strong leaders of its state unit. Many big faces like former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit’s son Sandeep Dikshit, Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee chief Devendra Yadav, All India Mahila Congress president Alka Lamba and former Delhi minister Haroon Yusuf are in the fray. It is believed that if Congress contests the elections strongly, it can improve its performance this time.
Where is Congress falling weak?
Let us tell you that Congress is not in power in Delhi since 2013, due to which it is going to be very challenging for it to regain the trust of the voters. In 2013, the party contested the elections under the leadership of former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, but since then the party has failed to find a leader on whose face it can bet with full confidence. After losing two consecutive elections, there may be a lack of enthusiasm among the lower party workers, which can have an adverse effect on its election campaign. Apart from this, the party has the challenge of not only stopping the continuously falling vote percentage in the assembly elections but also increasing it.
The party also has a great opportunity
The 2025 Delhi Assembly elections also have a very good opportunity for the Congress. The biggest opportunity for the Congress in these elections is that the party has nothing to lose as it does not have a single MLA in the Delhi Assembly for the last 2 terms. Congress has a great opportunity to regain its traditional vote bank in this assembly election, a large part of which has been transferred to AAP in the last few years. If it gets some seats, it will boost the morale of the party and the workers. If the situation of a hung assembly arises in Delhi, then Congress can play the role of ‘kingmaker’ if it wins some seats.
This big threat is looming over the party
A very big threat is also looming over the head of Congress in the Delhi Assembly Elections 2025. If the Congress fails to perform well in this election, then it may face a situation of elimination from the political scene of Delhi. The party is already facing such a situation in many important states of the country. The strong presence of AAP and BJP in Delhi is a big threat to the chances of Congress gaining power. In such a situation, Congress will have to perform well this time to maintain its influence in Delhi politics.
