Delhi Congress in-charge P.C Chacko today said that the party will spring a surprise on February 11, the day on which counting of votes will take place for the 70-member Delhi Assembly. Chacko denied that the party has thrown in the towel and is not even in the race. “We are fighting an ideological war.
Delhi has seen slow pace of progress in the last five-six years. People are looking at the Congress with hope as Aam Aadmi Party makes false promises and the BJP spreads communalism,” Chacko said.
