New Delhi : Amidst ongoing preparations for the upcoming assembly elections in five states, the Congress Party has shifted its focus towards the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in India. The party has set its sights on capturing seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi, with the launch of the ‘Jawab Do-Hisab Do’ campaign by the Delhi Congress.
In a significant political move, the campaign, which began on Sunday, targeted both the Aam Aadmi Party and the BJP. Leading this rally was Delhi Congress President Arvinder Singh Lovely, who expressed the campaign’s primary goal: “The purpose of this rally is to defeat the sitting BJP MPs in all seven seats of Delhi in the Lok Sabha elections in 2024.”
The campaign saw Congress workers congregating near Jhanda Chowk of Bawana in southwest Delhi, proudly waving Congress flags and raising slogans against the BJP-led central government. Prior to reaching the rally venue, Arvinder Singh Lovely met with Congress workers near Britannia Chowk on the Ring Road, proceeding to Madhuban Chowk, where local supporters and workers warmly received him.
Lovely conducted a small public meeting near Rithala Metro station before heading to Bawana. The entire rally route was adorned with Congress flags and posters of Rahul Gandhi. During his visit to Madhuban Chowk, Lovely also engaged with numerous students.
Prominent Congress leaders, including former MP Krishna Tirath, former Delhi Minister Haroon Yusuf, former MPs Ramesh Kumar and Udit Raj, Rajkumar Chauhan, Narendra Nath, Devendra Yadav, and Rajesh Lilothiya, were in attendance during the campaign.
Addressing the rally, Lovely alleged that both the BJP government at the center and the Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi had forced people from 365 villages to become refugees on their own land. Imposing house tax on rural residents was deemed not only a crime but also a violation of the rules. He further accused the government of discontinuing old-age pensions and essential services for rural areas.
Lovely highlighted the Congress Party’s past achievements, particularly the construction of 45,857 flats under the Rajiv Ratan Yojana for JJ Cluster and industrial workers, alleging that these flats were unjustly allocated to the CISF instead of the intended recipients.
The ‘Jawab Do-Hisab Do’ campaign sets the stage for intense political competition in the lead-up to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, promising to be a closely watched battle for Delhi’s seven parliamentary seats.
