In the last elections, Congress won six seats. An elated DPCC chief Aggarwal told PTI that the performance of Congress in Delhi and other metros clearly showed that "be it urban India or the rural, Congress is the peoples choice".
"The victory is a result of hardwork of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. The BJP indulged in a negative campaigning. We were positive in our campaign from the word go," Agarwal said.
