Congress is striving to turn the Delhi Assembly elections into a three-way contest, with the party's success hinging on the high command's strategy. In this scenario, both the state Congress and political analysts are closely watching Rahul Gandhi's involvement in the Delhi election campaign. Rahul is set to kick off the election campaign from Seelampur today.

Congress Delhi : Rahul Gandhi's inaugural rally in Seelampur holds significant importance for Congress to maintain its relevance in the Delhi election, considering its electoral prospects. All eyes are on how Rahul Gandhi will criticize the Aam Aadmi Party government and its leadership. This first public meeting in Delhi is organized in a region where the Congress has a strong political base, and the electoral battle is directly against the Aam Aadmi Party candidate. In this context, Delhi Congress leaders are hopeful that Rahul Gandhi will adopt an aggressive approach in his initial public meeting concerning the shortcomings of Arvind Kejriwal and his party over the past decade of governance.
The strategy and participation of Rahul Gandhi in the campaign will play the most decisive role in this, because his opinion is considered final in the political decisions of the party. Congress may be fighting against both BJP and Aam Aadmi Party in the Delhi elections, but Kejriwal's party is in power. That is why the Delhi Congress leaders and the party's election strategists claim that Rahul Gandhi will not make any concessions in attacking not only the BJP but also the Aam Aadmi Party for their failures in the last 10 years.
Efforts to regain lost political ground
Congress is making several efforts to regain its lost political ground in Delhi, but if it takes one step forward, it takes two steps back. Congress is caught in a tussle between BJP and Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi. Delhi Congress leaders also tried to create an atmosphere in their favour and against AAP by taking out Nyay Yatra in all 70 assembly constituencies of Delhi in November-December. During this, Congress had expressed its aggressive stance by showing liquor bottle-shaped balloons with caricature of former CM Arvind Kejriwal and charge sheet of AAP government live on LED screen.
Rahul Gandhi, a key leader in Congress and the opposition leader in the Lok Sabha, is set to launch Congress's election campaign by addressing a public gathering in Seelampur, a predominantly Muslim area in East Delhi, on Monday. If Rahul Gandhi takes a firm position against the Aam Aadmi Party and Kejriwal, similar to his approach with the BJP, it will reveal Congress's electoral strategy in Delhi.
Congress's full focus on making a triangular contest
The Congress party is working to make the Delhi Assembly elections a three-way race, with their success depending on the high command's strategy. In this context, both the state Congress and political analysts are keenly observing Rahul's role in the Delhi election campaign. If the party leadership shows a strong commitment to intensifying the Congress's assertive approach in its campaign, the election in the capital is expected to become quite fascinating.
Rahul Gandhi's first rally in Seelampur is vital for the Congress to maintain its relevance in the Delhi election, given its electoral outlook. Attention is focused on how Rahul Gandhi will critique the Aam Aadmi Party government and its leadership. His initial public meeting in Delhi is taking place in an area where the Congress has a strong voter base, with the electoral battle directly against the Aam Aadmi Party candidate. In this scenario, Delhi Congress leaders are optimistic that Rahul Gandhi will take an assertive stance in his first public meeting regarding the failures of Arvind Kejriwal and his party over the past decade of governance.
Rahul Gandhi's strategy and participation in the campaign will be pivotal, as his opinions are considered the ultimate authority in the party's political decisions. Although Congress is competing against both the BJP and the Aam Aadmi Party in the Delhi elections, Kejriwal's party currently holds power. Consequently, Delhi Congress leaders and the party's election strategists assert that Rahul Gandhi will be relentless in criticizing not only the BJP but also the Aam Aadmi Party for their shortcomings over the past ten years.
Efforts to regain lost political ground
Congress is striving to regain its political influence in Delhi, yet for every advance it makes, it seems to fall back twice as much. The party is caught in a tussle with the BJP and the Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi. To win public support and oppose AAP, Delhi Congress leaders initiated the Nyay Yatra across all 70 assembly constituencies in November-December. In this campaign, Congress showcased its assertive stance by using balloons shaped like liquor bottles with caricatures of former CM Arvind Kejriwal and displaying a charge sheet against the AAP government on an LED screen.
