The results of the Delhi Assembly election on Saturday have sparked strong reactions, with the Congress asserting that the outcome is not a testament to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s policies, but rather a referendum on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Despite facing another crushing defeat, Congress remains determined, vowing to make a strong return in 2030.
As the BJP is poised for a remarkable comeback in Delhi after more than 26 years, displacing AAP and extending its dominance in the national capital, Congress is facing its third consecutive loss in Delhi following the 2015 and 2020 elections. Despite this, Congress leaders argue that the outcome isn’t a reflection of Modi’s popularity but a rejection of Kejriwal’s leadership, which they described as “dishonest and deceptive.”
In a post on social media platform X, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh stated, “At the peak of the Prime Minister’s popularity in 2015 and 2020, AAP had decisively won in Delhi. This shows that this election is not a vindication of the Prime Minister’s policies, but rather a rejection of Kejriwal’s politics of deceit, deception, and wildly inflated claims of achievement.”
The Congress highlighted several controversies and scandals under Kejriwal’s governance, claiming that the voters had passed their judgment on the 12 years of what they referred to as “misrule.” Ramesh emphasized that although Congress did not secure seats in the Delhi Assembly, they had gained ground by increasing their vote share, signaling a shift in public sentiment.
“The Congress campaign was vigorous, and even though we may not have succeeded in securing a seat in the Assembly, we remain a significant presence in Delhi,” Ramesh said. “This presence will continue to grow with the tireless efforts of our millions of workers.”
Looking to the future, Ramesh asserted with confidence, “There will be a Congress government in Delhi once again in 2030.” Despite their defeat, Congress believes that their efforts will pay off in the long term, hoping to emerge victorious in the next election cycle.
