Delhi Elections : Vikas Rath (Congress) versus Vijay Rath (BJP) in Delhi Aassebmly Polls 2008
Depending on the wheels of development, the ruling Congress will use the ‘Vikas Rath’ to take on the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) comeback vehicle ‘Vijay Rath’ for campaigning in the Delhi assembly polls Nov 29.
The Vikas Rath, equipped with a 42-inch plasma TV on top and decorated with posters and banners about development work undertaken by Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, will do the rounds of all 70 constituencies for campaigning from Nov 15.
The party has roped in professionals from Kalyani Studio in Daryaganj to prepare over a dozen CDs carrying messages from Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and party general secretary Rahul Gandhi asking people to vote for the party.
All 70 candidates of the Congress have also recorded messages in their voices in CDs that will be handed over to each of them soon.
On the other hand, the BJP, which first made rath yatras famous in the country during the 2003 general elections, has planned Vijay Rath for the Delhi elections.
Unlike the Congress, the BJP vehicle will only be used in campaigning for the party’s chief ministerial candidate V.K. Malhotra.
“The party workers are busy preparing the Vijay Rath and it will be ready in a day or two. It will have posters and banners pasted on it highlighting the promises Malhotra is going to fulfil once elected to the top job,” a party worker said.
Terrorism, price rise and Sheila Dikshit’s failure in providing basic facilities like water and electricity are the major issues on which the BJP party fight the assembly elections.
Both the parties have also roped in IT experts to launch a hi-tech campaign in the Delhi elections. SMSs and e-mails will do the rounds among subscribers, asking them to vote for a particular candidate.

Smt. Sheila Dikshit make Delhi a clean, green, safe and caring city.In this endeavour your
cooperation has bee crucial. The Government schemes for reducing pollution by expanding the metro
network, constructing HCB corridors, expanding pollution checks, introducing standard low floor CNG
buses on city roads and revamping the Delhi Blue Line Scheme need citizens participation in safe driving,
discipline to observe safe traffic regulations, reducing the carbon footprint through conservation of
energy in all forms and in shifting to fuel-efficient machines.
In the fifth year of the second mandate, when the preparations for the Common Wealth Games 2010 are
in full swing, we are reminded of the challenges of hosting this international event in our city. This
calls for the whole city to stand together and put its best foot forward through utmost dedication, cooperation
and highest discipline. Together we have done it, together we will do it again. “EAST AND WEST SHEILA IS BEST”
