Delhi Election / Alka Lamba will contest against CM Atishi, Congress has given her ticket from Kalkaji

Delhi Election: This time an interesting contest can be seen on the Kalkaji seat in the Delhi Assembly elections. Congress has declared Alka Lamba as its candidate against the current MLA and Aam Aadmi Party's prominent female face Atishi. This decision of Congress has increased the election excitement and it will be interesting to see in which direction this contest goes.

Congress announced in an official press release after its Central Election Committee meeting that Alka Lamba has been made the party's candidate from Kalkaji assembly constituency in the upcoming elections. This decision is considered strategically important for the party, as Atishi has a strong hold on the Kalkaji seat.

Who is Alka Lamba?

Alka Lamba is a senior Congress leader and is currently the President of the All India Mahila Congress. Her political journey has been very long and varied. Alka Lamba has been the President of the Congress student wing NSUI and is also a member of the Congress Working Committee.

Alka Lamba has also been associated with the Aam Aadmi Party earlier. In the 2015 assembly elections, she contested from Chandni Chowk seat on an Aam Aadmi Party ticket and won by defeating BJP candidate Suman Gupta by over 18,000 votes. However, in the 2020 assembly elections, she contested from Chandni Chowk seat on a Congress ticket, but finished third. This time the Congress has given her a chance once again by fielding her from Kalkaji.

Electoral challenges of Alka Lamba

Alka Lamba will have to face a tough challenge this time. Atishi, the sitting MLA from Kalkaji seat, has a strong support base. Atishi has done a lot of work on education and women's issues during her tenure, due to which she is popular among the public.

The biggest challenge for Alka Lamba is to recover from her old defeat and strengthen the Congress again. Congress has been on the margins of Delhi politics for a long time and is now trying to regain its lost ground.

Alka's attacks on BJP and Aam Aadmi Party

After the announcement of elections, Alka Lamba has fiercely attacked BJP and Aam Aadmi Party. She accused both the parties of ruining Delhi. Alka said that in the last ten years, the people of Delhi have suffered the brunt of the conflict between BJP and Aam Aadmi Party. She criticized both the parties for unemployment, inflation, crime and corruption.

Alka said, "Aam Aadmi Party and BJP together have ruined Delhi. The government and administration should have worked together, but these two parties kept fighting among themselves." She also claimed that this time the people of Delhi will bring change by joining hands with Congress.

Congress's strategy

By giving ticket to Alka Lamba from Kalkaji seat, Congress has indicated that it is giving priority to women leadership. Alka Lamba is considered a fiery and outspoken leader, and her presence can benefit Congress. The party is actively working to perform better in Delhi this time.

Congress believes that the people of Delhi are fed up with the rule of BJP and Aam Aadmi Party and now want change. Congress has decided to put forward the achievements of its previous tenure in the election campaign and is trying to convince the voters of Delhi that Congress is the better option.

Conclusion

This time the contest on Kalkaji assembly seat can be very interesting and tough. On one side is Atishi of Aam Aadmi Party, who is known for her work, on the other side is Congress's flamboyant leader Alka Lamba. It will be interesting to see whom the public chooses as their representative. This election is very important for Congress, because this is an opportunity for the party to regain its lost political ground. On the other hand, for Aam Aadmi Party, this election is a challenge to retain its power. Now it remains to be seen who wins this contest and who gives a new direction to Delhi politics.
