Delhi Cong chief unveils new offices for MCD bypolls

Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) president Devender Yadav inaugurated the election offices of Congress candidates contesting the forthcoming Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) byelections. The offices of Vishakha Rani (Ashok Vihar Ward) and Shikha Kapoor (Greater Kailash) were opened in the presence of senior party leaders and workers.

Addressing the gathering, Yadav said the Congress was receiving strong public support across Delhi during the campaign. According to him, “Congress candidates get a lot of support from the people of Delhi in the MCD by election campaign, the mood of the people of Delhi has changed in favour of the Congress.”

He alleged that residents had been facing hardship for more than a decade due to misgovernance. “The people of Delhi, who have been suffering for the last 12 years due to the gross neglect of their problems by the previous AAP Government and the present BJP Government, want to bring change and were strongly supporting the Congress candidates,” he said. Yadav added that Congress workers were “fully prepared to win in every booth” and that ward-level candidates were meeting residents “to understand the long pending problems of their respective wards.”

Highlighting civic issues, particularly in Wazirpur’s slum clusters, he said, “In the slum clusters of Wazirpur, broken roads, choked drains and heaps of garbage on every corner have made life miserable for the people, due to the inefficiency of the BJP and Aam Aadmi Party MLAs and corporators.”

Yadav also launched a strong attack on the BJP over recent election outcomes in several states. “After the manipulated victories of the BJP in Maharashtra, Haryana and now in Bihar, everyone knows the manner in which the BJP and its allies are winning the elections,” he said.
