Delhi to have two Dy CMs?
If top sources are to be believed the BJP Government in Delhi will have two Deputy Chief Ministers. One can wait and watch.
Congress’ guarantees failed to woo voters
In Delhi assembly elections, the Congress party has miserably failed to woo the voters through poll guarantees. This is the fourth time when the party failed to impress voters. The maximum guarantees campaign started in Chhattisgarh, Rajasthani2023, And in Haryana and Maharashtra last year.
Congress gets only 6% votes in Delhi
The Delhi Assembly election was a bad dream for the Congress. The party could not open its account and secured only 6 per cent votes. It shows the party has lost the base and voter in the National Capital too. Now party leaders are saying “we will win the 2030 Delhi polls”.
Freebies failed, Guarantees clicks
In the Delhi assembly polls, AAP’s one dozen freebies- from free power to free ration- could not woo Delhi voters. Even Congress’s health, unemployment allowance, power, per month fixed amount to women announcements also failed to convince voters. The Congress, failing to secure a single lead, created the unenviable record of drawing a blank for the third time in a row. As a result, PM Modi was able to convince voters about the BJP’s guarantee and the development.
