Delhi Assembly Elections 2025 | Congress on strong footing in 75% of seats in national capital, says Sachin Pilot

New Delhi: Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Tuesday claimed the party was in a strong position in 75 per cent of seats for the February 5 assembly polls in Delhi.

The former Rajasthan deputy chief minister joined a foot march of Delhi Congress president Devender Yadav, who is contesting the election from Badli.

The entire country is looking to the Delhi election with interest and the massive support for Congress candidates in all 70 constituencies has rattled both the BJP and AAP, Pilot claimed.

The overwhelming support for Yadav is a clear sign that the Congress is returning to power to resume the stalled development of Badli and Delhi, he asserted.

Pilot also urged Congress workers to intensify their work at the booth level to ensure that the maximum number of voters turn up, saying the party was on a very strong footing in 75 per cent of the seats.

Yadav said, "An imposter surfaced on Delhi's political scene 11 years ago, selling big dreams to gullible people, promising that he would bring an honest and transparent government." "Ten years later, people in Badli have to deal with damaged roads, dirty water, water shortages, overflowing drains and sewers, lack of healthcare facilities as the so-called mohalla clinics are nowhere to be seen. Kejriwal did the exact opposite of what he had promised," he added.

Elections to the 70-member Delhi Assembly will be held on February 5 and the votes counted on February 8.

Delhi Assembly Election 2025 | The first of two state assembly polls this year sees a three-way contest between AAP, Congress, and BJP in the nation's capital. AAP decided to contest the polls alone, causing rumours of a rift in I.N.D.I.A. BJP, meanwhile, is hoping the liquor excise policy scam and pollution in Delhi will give the saffron party an edge over AAP. Kejriwal, on the other hand, has different plans with his demand for reservations for Delhi Jats. Congress will also be looking to make its presence felt and has not held back from attacking its own alliance partner.
