Delhi Elections / Congress released the first list for Delhi elections, know who got the ticket from where

Delhi Elections: The excitement of the upcoming assembly elections in Delhi has intensified. The Congress party has released its first list of candidates, in which the names of candidates have been announced on 21 seats. This election will not only decide the political direction of Delhi, but it can also have an impact on national politics.

Major candidates of Congress

Congress has given a chance to experienced and young leaders in its list. Among the prominent candidates:

Ballimaran: Haroon Yusuf

Chandni Chowk: Mudit Agarwal

Badli: Delhi Congress President Devendra Yadav

Dwarka: Adarsh ​​Shastri

The most popular name has emerged on the New Delhi seat, where the Congress has fielded Sandeep Dixit against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

New Delhi: The biggest electoral battlefield

The New Delhi assembly seat has become the hottest seat of these elections. In 2013, on this seat, Arvind Kejriwal made his strong presence felt in politics by defeating Congress veteran and then Chief Minister of Delhi Sheila Dixit.

Now Sheila Dikshit's son Sandeep Dikshit has this chance to avenge his mother's defeat and make Congress win this seat again.

Congress's new approach

This time Congress has made a strategy to contest the elections as a strong opposition.

Congress' Delhi in-charge Qazi Mohammad Nizamuddin said,

"We will contest the elections as a strong opposition. Both Aam Aadmi Party and BJP have disappointed the people of Delhi."

It is clear from this statement that Congress has made full preparations to regain its old stronghold.

Separate paths after the alliance broke

Before the Delhi Assembly elections, the alliance between Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has broken. In the Lok Sabha elections, both the parties fought the elections together, but this time both are presenting their claims separately.

Balance of experienced and young faces

Delhi Congress President Devendra Yadav said,

"We have kept all sections in mind while selecting the candidates. There is a good mix of experienced and young leaders among the candidates." His statement shows that the Congress is entering the electoral fray with new enthusiasm and old experiences.

Elections may be held in February

The dates for the Delhi Assembly elections have not been decided yet, but it is likely that they will be held in February 2024.

Conclusion

The political scenario of Delhi is going to be very interesting this time. Congress has given a clear indication through its list of candidates that it is ready to give a challenging fight this time. The contest between Arvind Kejriwal and Sandeep Dixit on the New Delhi seat will be the most exciting. This election can create new equations in Delhi politics due to the triangular contest between Congress, BJP and AAP.
