Responding to questions on TOI Hangout from readers, Ajay Maken said that Congress has a good chance and blamed the pollsters for treating them unfairly.
"We have not been treated fairly by pollsters. The opinion polls will be proved wrong like last time. Did any opinion poll predict that Arvind Kejriwal will become the chief minister last time," Maken said.
He dismissed questions that suggested Congress will do very bad in the elections.
Watch Ajay Maken's Hangout
When one of the TOI readers asked Ajay Maken about how it's like to fight a losing battle, he said, "Congress did not rule in one go over the last 15 years.People don't remember we won three elections in Delhi. We lost the fourth election. BJP had lost the last three elections."
Additionally, he urged the people of Delhi not to underestimate Congress and have faith in the party.
"It is not that people voted us only once, we have been ruling ever after. People bring us back because we perform," said Maken.
Ajay Maken's Hangout: As it happened
Power tariff in Delhi has remained as one of the major issues leading to all political establishments making it an electoral bait. Maken was asked why Delhi should vote for Congress when AAP had provided cheap power during its 49-day tenure. The Congress leader reiterated that AAP has "fooled" the people of Delhi. "They (AAP) have given Rs 250 crore of tax payers money as subsidy to private companies. Kejriwal did this to gain some brownie points and fool people of Delhi," Maken added.
A reader asked Maken about Congress' strategy on bringing down power rates when it failed to do anything while in power. To this he answered by saying that the last government in Delhi did a lot of good work, but there were areas where the party could have done better. He added that the first step towards bring power tariff down was by handling power regulatory bodies very firmly. He talked about the issue of power theft and said that it has reduced by over 41 per cent in the city, after private companies got involved, which translates into Rs 6,000 crore annualy. He stressed that this benefit should pass on to end user.
