With Delhi Assembly elections anticipated early next year, the Congress party has intensified its preparations, appointing Priyavrat Singh as the Chairman of its election “war room.” The decision was approved by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge.
Congress’ Strategy for Delhi
- The move signals the party’s intent to revive its fortunes in Delhi, where it has struggled in the past two assembly elections.
- The Congress, which once ruled Delhi for 15 consecutive years under the leadership of Sheila Dikshit, currently has no representation in the Delhi Assembly.
- Priyavrat Singh’s appointment aims to strengthen the party’s election coordination and strategy.
Working Committee Meeting Scheduled
In light of its poor performance in recent elections in Maharashtra and Haryana, the Congress has announced a Working Committee meeting on November 29 to assess its current standing and devise strategies for upcoming electoral battles.
Rival Parties Begin Campaigning
- The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have also initiated their campaigns for the Delhi assembly elections.
- AAP, led by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, continues to position itself as a dominant force in the region.
- BJP is likely to highlight its national initiatives and promises for urban development in its campaign.
The Congress faces a challenging road ahead as it seeks to rebuild its support base in a city dominated by AAP and BJP over the past decade. Priyavrat Singh’s role as the “war room” head will be pivotal in shaping the party’s strategies and outreach efforts.
