Several senior leaders including Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee chief Arvinder Singh Lovely, Election Campaign Committee chief Ajay Maken and many candidates are expected to attend the rally which aims to checkmate the Bharatiya Janata Party and Aam Aadmi Party.

Most of these seats are dominated by the lower middle class, poorer sections of the society and Muslims who have moved towards the AAP. Rahul's rally is aimed to bring back such voters back into the Congress fold
Rahul's roadshow on Tuesday was the first major Congress campaign in Delhi which will vote to elect a new Assembly on February 7. The roadshow began from the Kalkaji Transit Camp and went around the constituency with over 5,000 people attending the event.
Congress has witnessed a massive downfall since December 2013 polls and experienced its worst ever performance in Lok Sabha elections as it managed to win only 44 seats.
After ruling Delhi for 15 years, the Congress won only 8 seats in the 2013 elections. The Aam Aadmi Party stole the show by winning 28 seats and BJP-SAD won 32 seats.
