Launching its mega campaign for the upcoming civic polls, the Congress’ Delhi unit has decided to conduct a door-to-door campaign focusing on seeking opinions on making Delhi a “Dream City.”

In its campaign, Delhi Congress will be working towards connecting with voters in preparation for next year’s civic polls with special focus on 21 Assembly segments where sitting AAP legislators face threat of disqualification over office of profit issue.

“The campaign process has already begun with appointment of sector in-charge in 12 of the 21 Assembly constituencies where AAP MLAs are likely to face disqualification. The campaign will cover all the 13,000 polling booths grouped in 3,857 sectors,” Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken said.

In the bypolls to 13 wards of three municipal corporations in May this year, the Congress had won five seats while AAP and BJP had won five and three seats, respectively.

In the first phase of the campaign, “Meri Delhi-Mere Sapne” (My Delhi-My Dreams), feedback and suggestions will be collected from the voters through a questionnaire to improve the civic conditions in the city.

The feedback will also try to gauge the voters’ mood by seeking their responses on BJP-ruled Central and AAP-ruled Delhi governments. In the second phase, the feedback would be used to prepare a common document on public aspirations from their representatives in the three municipal corporations in the city.

“On the basis of the feedback from people in the city, we will try to find out solutions for the problems and seek suggestion for improving conditions in Delhi from domain experts,” Mr Maken said.

Attacking the BJP-ruled MCDs in the city, Mr Maken said that the corporations have so much resource at their disposal that they need not go to the Centre and Delhi government to sort out their financial problems. “While AAP government in Delhi must share part of the blame for poor fiscal health of the municipal corporations, the BJP dispensations at the MCDs too have shown little imagination to improve the financial condition,” he said.

The resources with MCDs are enough to provide world class municipal services to the people in the city, he claimed. Congress will focus on solid waste management, fiscal management, primary education, and health in the run up to MCD elections in 2017, he added.

The campaign will gather momentum with commencement of door-to-door contact after Diwali, he said.
