Lok Sabha polls: Delhi Congress to unveil 3 manifestos — one with INDIA partner AAP

Forceful acquisition of agricultural land by government agencies, demand for an increase in circle rate, lack of facilities in unauthorised colonies, and struggles faced by small and medium businesses were some of the issues highlighted in the meetings.

On February 28, Delhi Congress Chief Arvinder Singh Lovely had announced that the Congress manifesto for the national capital would be announced within the first week of March, but the release of the 50-point manifesto has seen a delay as it has been sent to the central leadership for approval.

“We do not want to introduce anything that is in contrast to the central leadership’s manifesto which is why it has been sent for a check… it might be discussed in the Congress Working Committee’s manifesto today,” party sources said.

“On receiving approval, we will announce the election promises that Delhi Congress is going to focus on… A separate manifesto will be released in collaboration with the AAP for which meetings will be organised soon,” a senior Congress leader said.

The Delhi Congress also plans to point out the failures of the Delhi BJP in the next few days. On Monday, the Delhi BJP had announced a roadmap for the elections, with each of its seven candidates presenting developmental plans for the first 100 days of their tenure, if elected.

Addressing the press Tuesday, Lovely attacked the Delhi BJP saying, “Instead of telling what BJP MPs have done in the last 10 years, discussing what they will do in the next 100 days is an act of misleading the people of Delhi.”

He also accused the BJP MPs of not contributing to the development of new schools, hospitals, Yamuna cleanliness, and other infrastructure projects in the past ten years.
