Delhi Congress President and candidate from Badli Assembly constituency, Devendra Yadav, has expressed confidence in his party’s victory in the assembly election saying that the people are troubled by the AAP rule and have made up their minds to form a strong Congress government.
Speaking to ANI, Yadav said, “Judging by people’s mood, Delhi citizens are troubled by the rule of AAP, whether it is the problem of pension of the poor, ration card and dirty water. The big promises made by Arvind Kejriwal have been exposed. He has not opened any new school or Mohalla clinic. People have made up their mind that they will form a strong Congress government in 2025.”

He also accused Kejriwal of using public money for advertising.
