New Delhi: Two weeks ahead of Delhi’s Municipal Corporation of Delhi’s elections, Congress, on Wednesday, November 16, 2022, has released its list of star campaigners for the polls, aggressively stepping into overturning the government of Bhartiya Janata Party in MCD. Kanhaiya Kumar, Ajay Maken, Alka Lamba and Sachin Pilot are among the top leaders of the list of 40 ‘star campaigners’. Earlier, leader Ajay Maken had sent his resignation to the newly appointed Chief of Congress, Mallikarjun Kharge, citing his inability and unwillingness to continue as the in-charge of Rajasthan.

However, his presence in the list of star campaigners suggests his wish to work for Delhi. Maken, in his resignation letter to Kharge, wrote that he wishes to focus on Delhi through trade unions and NGOs to raise issues related to pollution, slums, street vendors and residents of unauthorized colonies.
