Gearing up its campaign ahead of the municipal polls, the Delhi Congress on Tuesday held a convention of block-level party officials and released a ‘charge sheet’ against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government.

Speaking at the event, Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president Ajay Maken said that Delhiites were tired of the “misrule” of the BJP in the municipal corporations during the past 10 years and of the AAP in the government for two years.

Allegations of corruption

According to the booklet, which is titled ‘Kejriwal Ka Brashtachar, Mauj Kare Rishtedar’, the Congress laid out several allegations of corruption surrounding Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

The booklet will be handed out in a door-to-door campaign, with another booklet on the performance of the BJP in the municipal corporations to be released soon.

While the election dates have not been announced yet, the Delhi Congress is already getting ready for the three-way fight.

The AAP will be contesting the civic polls for the first time, though the party had fielded candidates in the by-polls to 13 wards last year.

Of the 13 wards, the AAP and the Congress won five each, with BJP taking just three seats.
