Congress has announced that ‘Pyaari Didi Yojana’ will be implemented if it wins the Delhi elections.
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 even 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 danger is looming over it.
Where is Congress strong in Delhi?
Let us tell you that in comparison to Aam Aadmi Party’s ‘Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana’ which has a provision of monthly assistance of Rs 2100 after the elections, Congress has announced ‘Pyaari Didi Yojana’. She has promised that if voted to power, women will be given monthly financial assistance of Rs 2500. In this election, Congress has fielded many prominent leaders of its state unit. Many big faces like Sandeep Dikshit, son of former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee chief Devendra Yadav, All India Mahila Congress President Alka Lamba and former Delhi Minister Haroon Yusuf are in the electoral 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 has not been in power in Delhi since 2013, due to which it is going to be quite challenging for it to regain the trust of the voters. In 2013, the party had 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 place bets with full confidence. After losing two consecutive elections, there may be a lack of enthusiasm among the lower party workers, which may adversely affect its election campaign. Apart from this, the party faces 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
There is also a very good opportunity for Congress in the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections. The biggest opportunity for Congress in these elections is that the party has nothing to lose as it has not had a single MLA in the Delhi Assembly for the last 2 terms. Congress has a great opportunity in this assembly election to regain its traditional vote bank, a large part of which has been transferred to AAP in the last few years. If it gets even a few seats, it will boost the morale of the party and the workers. If a hung assembly situation arises in Delhi, Congress can play the role of ‘kingmaker’ by winning some seats.
This big danger is looming over the party
A big threat is also looming over the Congress in the Delhi Assembly elections 2025. If Congress fails to perform well in this election, it may have to face the situation of being wiped out 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 major threat to Congress’s chances of regaining power. In such a situation, Congress will have to perform well this time to maintain its influence in Delhi politics. (Language)
