Ajay Maken to be Cong face in Delhi assembly polls

January 13, 2015

Faced with the challenge of regaining lost ground, Congress today appointed former Union Minister Ajay Maken as chairman of the party's 101-member campaign commitee for Delhi Assembly polls, marking dawn of a new leadership in the capital after the legacy of three-time Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit.

The AICC general secretary will be the face of Congress's campaign which will revolve around its success during the 15-year rule between 1998-2013 as it will appeal to the people to go for 'tried and tested' leaders in the February 7 polls to the 70-member House.

"We have constituted a Campaign Committee for Delhi assembly polls. The 101-member committee will be headed by Ajay Maken," AICC in-charge of Delhi P C Chacko told a joint press conference with Maken.
