New Delhi: Admitting defeat in the crucial elections to the MCD, DPCC President Rambabu Sharma on Saturday blamed the court-ordered sealing drive in the Capital for the party's poll debacle.
"For the last one year, the people of Delhi have had to deal with the sealing drive. To add to it, they also had to face demolition of houses," PTI quoted Sharma as saying.
The Congress had used the hurriedly enacted Master Plan for Delhi 2021 as its election weapon in the MCD polls that were held under the shadow of the sealing drive.
The Master Plan was projected as a solution to the sealing and demolition issues.
The Delhi Congress chief also enlisted inflation and problems relating to power and water as the reasons behind the poor showing of the party in the elections, that are being seen as a curtain raiser to the Assembly polls to be held next year.
"Despite these problems, the Congress candidates and workers gave it their best shot and I really admire their determination," Sharma said.
Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said that it's not a verdict against the Delhi Government.
"It is not a reflection of the public mood towards the Delhi Government. People know we do our work properly in the Delhi government. There were issues and problems. We will work for the Assembly polls from tomorrow itself," she said.
