Delhi Assembly Elections 2025 | Vote for those who have done real development in Delhi and not made false promises, says Kharge

New Delhi: As voting began for the Delhi Assembly polls, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday urged people to vote for those who have done real development in Delhi and not duped people by making false promises.

He asserted that those who want to remain in power by "pretending to fight" for people do not deserve their votes.

"I appeal to the respected people of Delhi to cast their valuable vote. Your one vote will prove to be a symbol of change in Delhi. If Delhi has to be taken forward on the path of development like before, then choose those people who have done real development in Delhi and not duped you by making false promises," Kharge said in a post in Hindi on X.

"Those who have not taken even a single step for solving the issues of broken roads, dirty water, garbage and polluted air and only made excuses, you should think before pressing the button on the EVM that how much they care about you," the Congress leader said in his appeal to voters.

"Those who only want to remain in power by pretending to fight for people are not truly deserving of your vote," he added.

Kharge said Delhi's brotherhood, harmony, prosperity, happiness and inclusive development are paramount.

He also called on the youth, especially first-time voters to exercise their franchise.

Voting began for the Delhi Assembly elections at 7 am. While the ruling AAP is eyeing a third straight term, banking on its governance record and welfare schemes, the BJP and the Congress are looking for a resurgence.

There are around 1.56 crore eligible voters in the capital.

Polling is underway at 13,766 stations across Delhi's 70 assembly constituencies to decide the fate of 699 candidates.

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.
