New Delhi: It is a battle for survival for Congress in Delhi. The party, which ruled Delhi for 15 years in the trot since 1998, has been in a descending spiral in the national capital since 2013. The great party has been without a representative in the Delhi assembly since 2015 and has also attracted a blank. In the last two Lok Sabha elections. What is worse: the participation of votes of the party has also collapsed to the alarming minimums.
The Congress, which has been relegated to the margin of Delhi’s policy in the last 10 years, faces a task uphill to avoid the doubtful distinction of scoring a hat truch of zeros in the elections of the Assembly. That is perhaps the first priority of the leaders of the Delhi Congress, who have come out everything against the AAM AADMI of Arvind Kejriwal (AAPA) and the BJP.
The great Old-Old-Park is desperate for a change. But the fact is that it has been literally decimated in Delhi by giving its political space first to AAP and then to the BJP.
Factorize these alarming statistics:
In the 2020 Assembly elections, Congress candidates lost their deposits in 63 of the 66 seats that the party challenged.In the 2015 Assembly elections, 62 of the 70 Congress candidates lost their deposits.48 Congress candidates surveyed less than 5% of the votes in 2020.Congress participation in Delhi has fallen from a maximum of 48% in 2003 to 4.3% in 2020.In Lok Sabha elections, Congress has been relegated to third position in terms of voting votes with AAP in second place after BJP.
The Congress is disputing the only 2025 elections, as he did in 2020 and 2015. This after AAP, which is a partner of the Congress under the flag of India of the opposition, rejected an alliance with the great party. The two games had played Lok Sabha’s 2025 elections in Alliance. However, while the AAP obtained the link, the Congress was taken to number 3 in terms of voting votes. The alliance could not avoid another clean sweep by the BJP that won the 7 seats of Lok Sabha for the second time.
So, can Congress guide the beginning of its revival in the 2025 elections? Its state leaders trust a change and claim that there is land support for the party. Congress has also matched the AAP and BJP in the gift career that promise to launch several well -being schemes if they vote on power. However, despite these efforts, Congress seems to be without rudder in the field.
Unlike BJP and AAP, whose main leaders are crossing the national capital, Delhi’s campaign of Congress has not yet charged impulse. There are only seven campaign days left and we still have to see the president of the Mallikarjun Kharge party, Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra campaign in Delhi so far. Only Rahul Gandhi has approached some manifestations so far.
In its manifestations, Rahul has unleashed an abrasing attack against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former Delhi Prime Minister Arvind Kejriwal, saying that there is no difference between the two leaders and who do not want the other way around, the Dalit, the tribes and the tribes and the minorities to obtain due participation in.
Rahul has also trained his weapons in Kejriwal and said that AAP’s call was following “Modi’s propaganda strategy and false promises.” The leader of the Congress attacked the head of AAP about the liquor scam and said that “Arvind Kejriwal promised to do politics differently, but gave Delhi the greatest liquor scam. He came in a small car, but lived in ‘Sheesh Mahal ‘”Rahul said in a concentration.
Rahul’s attacks have evoked strong reactions from AAP, which accused Congress of Coludo with the BJP to defeat Kejriwal. This even when AAP leaders claim that Congress will not be able to abolish their perspectives. The open dispute between the two allies converted into rivals has already tensed the equations of the opposition alliance. Most of India’s partners have backed Kejriwal in this fight, but Congress seems not to be immutual.
Several analysts claim that even a marginal improvement in the performance of the congress, especially the participation of votes, could make the results interesting since the party can end up helping the BJP or the AAP. But for that even to happen, Congress needs to put your home in order. For a party that is far behind its rivals, the very necessary intensity in the ground seems to be missing. This raises an obvious question: Has Congress already granted defeat?
