New Delhi, Nov 30 (NationPress) Vijay Goel, the former Union Minister and Vice Chairman of Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti, was actively interacting with citizens in the bustling Rajiv Chowk area of Delhi on Saturday, gathering insights on the crucial matters that need attention in the upcoming Assembly elections.
With the elections set for February 2025, Goel and his team ventured into the streets to assess public sentiment, inquiring about the issues that the next Delhi government should prioritize.
In a conversation with IANS, Goel emphasized that this engagement with the public was aimed at identifying the urgent matters that should be included in the electoral discussions.
“With Delhi elections approaching in February, we are collecting public feedback on the significant issues for the campaign. Among the top concerns are pollution, water, sewage, and garbage. Residents also raised issues regarding the presence of Bangladeshis and Rohingyas, inadequate hospital services, and underperforming schools. However, water-related issues were the most pressing, along with parking difficulties and the pollution of the Yamuna,” he stated.
Goel stressed the importance for political parties to not only incorporate these matters into their manifestos but also to propose practical solutions.
“The citizens of Delhi deserve clean water, air, and reliable electricity. Political parties should offer real solutions rather than mere rhetoric. They are not interested in empty promises,” he remarked.
As the elections draw near, political parties have ramped up their preparations. The BJP is expediting its candidate selection process, identifying three potential candidates for each of the 70 constituencies.
On the other hand, the AAP has unveiled its initial list of 11 candidates, which includes six leaders who recently transitioned from the BJP and Congress, while three sitting MLAs have been dropped.
Meanwhile, the Congress party has resolved to contest the Delhi Assembly elections independently, dismissing any possibility of an alliance with the AAP. As the political contest intensifies, the focus now shifts to the manifestos that will tackle the concerns voiced by the voters of Delhi.
