With new leadership, Congress in Delhi looks to take on AAP, BJP

After taking over as the new chief, Dikshit said, "I have no message for the AAP or the BJP. I just want to say that now Congress will be revived." Yadav, a former MLA from Samaypur Badli and current national secretary in the party taking care of its Rajasthan unit, said that the new team combines experience and youth power. "We are very well prepared. Delhi Congress now combines experience and youth power. We will work as a team. Under the leadership of Sheila Dikshit, I hope we will do remarkable things in coming days," he told PTI. Yusuf who served as a minister in Sheila Dikshit's government said the party organisation will be further strengthened. Lilothia, the national secretary and co-incharge of Bihar Congress, pointed out that all the three working presidents have the experience of working with Dikshit in different capacities. "We have coordination and understanding. I hope unitedly we will strengthen party organisation and win the upcoming Lok Sabha elections and Delhi Assembly elections in 2020," he told PTI. Dikshit was the chief minister of Delhi before losing power to Arvind Kejriwal's AAP in 2013. The party drew blank in the last Lok Sabha elections and could not open its account in the 2015 Delhi elections. It also performed poorly in the civic polls of 2017. Ajay Maken who resigned as Delhi Congress president last week citing ill health claimed on various occasions that the party's vote percentage was up but they were not getting translated into seats.
