CONGRESS TO HIGHLIGHT EARLIER ACHIEVEMENTS

NEW DELHI: The Congress on Friday launched its campaign for the municipal corporation polls, flagging off a fleet of vans with digital screens from its state unit headquarters, which will tour the Capital over the next fortnight to highlight the achievements of the previous Sheila Dikshit government.

The MCD polls are scheduled to be held on December 4, with the results to be declared on December 7.

Delhi Congress chief Anil Kumar Chaudhary said the vans will highlight the Congress’s vision for Delhi’s progress and development, and will highlight the achievements of the previous Sheila Dikshit government during its 15-year rule.

“The Bharat Jodo Yatra will be a main theme of the Congress campaigns through the digital vans, apart from emphasising the Congress slogan of ‘Vakt Hai Parivartan Ka, Congress Ke Samarthan Ka’ (It is a time for change, it is a time for Congress), as Congress had made Delhi one of the best cities in the world during its 15-year rule,” he said.

Congress had won the municipal elections in 2002, but has been sitting on the opposition benches since 2007.
