In contrast to her successor, Arvind Kejriwal, Uttar Pradesh Congress President Ajay Rai said that Sheila Dixit, the previous chief minister of Delhi, has served the people of the National Capital.

On February 5, the Delhi assembly elections will be conducted in a single phase, and on February 8, the results will be counted.

Nominations must be submitted by January 17. The nominations will be examined on January 18. However, January 20 is the deadline for withdrawing one’s candidacy.

While the AAP, which is seeking to win power for the third time in a row, is emphasizing its accomplishments in the fields of health and education, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has charged the AAP leaders with corruption and poor administration.

“You have seen that in Delhi, Congress has always remained strong,” Rai told the reporters on Wednesday in reference to the impending Delhi assembly elections. While Kejriwal achieved little in Delhi, Sheila Dikshit accomplished a great deal. This time, Delhi will undergo a transformation that will benefit the Congress.

Additionally, he accused Kejriwal of “tricking” and “looting” the populace.
Parvesh Verma, a former MP and the son of former Delhi Chief Minister Sahib Singh Verma, has been put up by the BJP to run against Arvind Kejriwal for the New Delhi seat. Sandeep Dikshit, the son of Sheila Dixit, is running for the same seat, and the Congress has also joined the battle.

In the Kalkaji seat, the Congress has put forth former MLA Alka Lamba, while the BJP has put in former MP Ramesh Bidhuri to challenge Delhi CM Atishi.

The Congress, which ruled Delhi for 15 years in a row, has lost both of the most recent assembly elections and has not been able to secure any seats. In contrast, the BJP only received eight seats in the 2020 assembly elections, while the AAP won 62 of 70 seats.
