Failed promises
All the dreams that he showed for Delhi are now falling apart. In 11 years, be it the education model, free electricity, free water, ending corruption, Arvind Kejriwal has completely failed on all these aspects," Yadav said.
The assembly elections
The assembly elections in Delhi are likely to be held in February.
Congress performed poorly
Congress, which was in power in Delhi for 15 successive years, has performed poorly in the past two assembly polls, failing to win any seat.
AAP won 62 out of the 70 seats in the 2020 assembly elections and BJP secured eight seats.
