This time, in the Delhi Assembly elections, while Congress's top leadership appears serious, the local leaders show less enthusiasm. Rahul Gandhi's campaign strategy is ready. Post the deadline for withdrawing nominations, candidate names have also been finalized. The details from the online meeting with local Congress leaders, held by Rahul and Priyanka on Monday, are widely discussed within Congress.
What happened in the meeting?
Rahul Gandhi's public gatherings will restart in Delhi from Wednesday (January 22). Although he held his first rally in Seelampur, rallies took a break afterward. A key topic was why leaders from different states and communities have yet to hold meetings in Delhi. How wise is it to rely solely on Rahul and Priyanka for election promotion? Additionally, the absence of a clear narrative against BJP and AAP was noted. Although the meeting lasted only a few minutes, Congress leaders were instructed to campaign aggressively.
Who participated?
Among those in this strategic meeting were Congress's Delhi in-charge Qazi Nizamuddin and President Devendra Yadav, along with former Delhi Congress presidents. The top leadership urged local leaders to find ways to communicate Congress's five guarantees to the people, especially promises aimed at women and youth, which could win votes in Delhi.
Expectations from Rahul's rallies
This week marks the start of Rahul Gandhi's intensive rallies in Delhi. These rallies aim to reconnect the traditional Congress voter base with the party. On Wednesday, January 22, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, will address a public meeting in Sadar Bazaar. Sadar Bazaar combines Muslim, Dalit, and Brahmin voters. On January 23, a rally is scheduled in the Muslim neighborhood of Mustafabad. Rahul has already initiated his campaign in neighboring Seelampur. His rally on January 24 will be in Madipur, a reserved constituency for scheduled castes, but with a significant Sikh population that Congress is eyeing.
