New Delhi: As Congress heads for a rout in Delhi Assembly Elections, party workers gathered outside office headquarters on Tuesday demanding that Priyanka Gandhi join active politics. Waving posters, which read ‘Priyanka Lao Party bachao’ a larger number of Congress workers gathered outside party headquarters.
This is not the first time that such a demand has been made but it has repeatedly been snubbed by Priyanka. The AAP raced towards a landslide win in the Delhi assembly election, with the BJP congratulating AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal.
Election officials counting the millions of votes polled Saturday said the Aam Aadmi Party was set to win more than 50 of the 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly, with a staggering vote share of at least 52 percent.
The BJP was forging ahead in just a dozen seats, far less than the 31 it won in December 2013.
The Congress, which was reduced to eight seats last time, was headed for a rout. The AAP swept all across the capital, including both in the middle class areas and low income neighbourhoods, virtually decimating the Bharatiya Janata Party.
