Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Fail to Make an Impact in Delhi Assembly Elections
Amethi: The Rahul-Priyanka Blitz did not work in the Delhi Assembly elections. The areas where the brother-sister duo held rallies saw no significant influence, and the Congress party failed to win a single seat.
Rahul Gandhi began his election campaign on January 13, starting from Seelampur in Northeast Delhi (5 seats). Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, on the other hand, held her first rally for the Delhi elections on January 31. Both leaders conducted a total of 11 rallies across six districts of Delhi. The highest number of rallies, three, were held in North Delhi. Additionally, they held two rallies each in West Delhi, Central Delhi, and Northeast Delhi, and one rally each in Shahdara and West Delhi.
How Many Districts Did Rahul Gandhi Cover?
Rahul Gandhi conducted seven rallies across Delhi, covering five districts independently. On January 28, his rally in Patparganj aimed to influence eight assembly seats in North Delhi. The same day, he held a rally in Okhla, targeting seven seats in South-East Delhi. Additionally, on January 31, he attempted to gain support in seven seats of West Delhi. Rahul’s final rally took place on February 1 in Sadar Bazaar, where he aimed to sway voters in seven more constituencies. In total, Rahul Gandhi attempted to influence 34 assembly seats for Congress.
Rahul-Priyanka Blitz: Priyanka Gandhi’s Influence on the Elections
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra entered the Delhi Assembly election campaign relatively late, starting her first rally on the last day of January in Nangloi Jat, West Delhi. On the same day, Rahul Gandhi also campaigned in West Delhi, showing a significant focus from the Congress leadership on the seven seats in this district.
On February 1, Priyanka held rallies in Central Delhi (seven seats) and Northeast Delhi (five seats). Her final rally in Delhi took place in Shahdara, an area that Rahul Gandhi did not cover. Additionally, she held a rally in Seemapuri, attempting to secure five more seats for Congress.
Rahul-Priyanka Blitz: The Overall Impact of Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi
In total, Priyanka Gandhi conducted rallies targeting 24 seats. However, out of these, Rahul Gandhi had already attempted to cover 19 seats. The only distinct area Priyanka campaigned in separately was Shahdara.
Despite their combined efforts, the Congress party failed to make a significant impact in the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections. Even in the constituencies where Rahul and Priyanka conducted rallies, the party could not secure a single seat, highlighting the continued challenges Congress faces in Delhi.
