Congress to prepare for strong contest on all 7 Delhi Lok Sabha seats in 2024 elections: Alka Lamba | India News – Times of India
“We have been asked to prepare for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. It has been decided that we will start preparations on all the 7 seats. Seven months are left and all the party workers have been asked to prepare for all seven seats,” Congress leader Alka Lamba said.
“How many seats we will contest will be decided later, but we have been given instructions to prepare with all our strength on all the 7 seats of Delhi,” she said.
“After Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo yatra we have seen a significant change in the way people look at the Congress and so we have been told to prepare for all seven seats,” the Congress leader said.
“The meeting lasted for four hours and was attended by 40 leaders who put forth their opinion. The talks focused on strengthening the Congress in Delhi,” she added.
“The cases against AAP leaders were also discussed during the meeting, ” Lamba said.
The Congress move may not go down well with Arvind Kejriwal‘s Aam Aadmi Party that rules Delhi and is a part of the new opposition alliance INDIA. One of the key strategies of INDIA parties is to put up a joint fight in the states under the party which has the strongest presence.
Reacting to Congress decision, AAP leader and Delhi minister Saurabh Bhardwaj said “Our central leadership will decide this. Our political affairs committee and INDIA parties will sit together and discuss about poll alliance.”
