The Congress party has fielded Delhi party chief Devender Yadav from the Badli constituency, where he previously served as an MLA. He is emerging as a pivotal candidate in the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections scheduled for February 5. His leadership is seen as crucial for revitalising the party's presence in a region where it has struggled since 2013. Yadav's strategy involves introducing new candidates to connect better with voters, reflecting a shift from traditional faces that have become less appealing to the electorate. His experience and grassroots connections are expected to bolster the party's campaign efforts, particularly against the backdrop of promises like the "Yuva Udaan Yojana", aimed at addressing unemployment among youth in Delhi. With a focus on welfare schemes and financial incentives, Yadav aims to present a compelling alternative to both the Aam Aadmi Party and the BJP, which dominate the current political landscape.
