The Congress party in Delhi is trying to win back Muslim voters for the 2025 elections. They’ve nominated seven Muslim candidates across the city. This is different from how they used to do things and it’s a clear effort to connect with voters who have been going to other parties lately. It’s a big challenge for Congress to build back support in areas where they used to be strong.
This new strategy shows that Congress knows they need to do something different to get Muslim voters back. They want to show they are a good choice for this community who’ve been supporting other parties recently. By having more Muslim candidates they’re trying to earn trust and show they care. It’s a direct move because they’ve been losing support and they’re trying to reconnect with these important voters.
These efforts are happening while Congress is generally trying to get back on its feet in Delhi politics. The 2025 election is a really big deal to see if their strategy with Muslim voters will work and if they can get back their influence. Choosing these seven candidates is a big part of trying to gain back their political base and show that they want to be inclusive for everyone they want to represent.
