Days after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal asserted that he was ready to leave all seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi for the Congress, if the party had the potential defeat the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) on its own, Delhi Congress reacted strongly saying that Kejriwal is trying to confuse the people of Delhi with his irresponsible statements.
Delhi Congress chief Sheila Dikshit asserted that the people of the city want to bring back the Congress to power for good governance and development. “If the party workers of Delhi work like a solid unit, no force can prevent us from sweeping the elections and winning all seven Lok Sabha seats in the national Capital,” she claimed.
Delhi Congress spoke persons Ramakant Goswami and Jitender Kumar said that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is talking about a triangular contest in order to divide the votes to help the BJP win.
“The Congress will win all the seven seats as the party has an excellent track record of amazing development works during the Congress Government’s 15-year uninterrupted rule in Delhi.
The former Delhi Chief Minister said if the Congress workers put up a united show before the Opposition parties, the party will “sweep” the Lok Sabha elections in Delhi by winning all seven seats.
“People of Delhi now want change as they neither want the BJP nor the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in power. These parties have only ruined the lives of the people in the past four years,” Dikshit said at a party workers meeting in Chandni Chowk area here.
Under the presidentship of Dikshit, the Congress has seen a surge of excitement among workers as the three-time Delhi Chief Minister has put a bold step forward by stating the Delhi Congress was capable of fighting the Lok Sabha elections without any alliance with the AAP.
