Addressing the meeting, Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) chief Devender Yadav said the party accepted the people's verdict in general elections where the Congress and its ally AAP failed to win any seat in the national capital. Yet, Yadav appreciated the effort of party workers, which he said, contributed greatly to the Congress' increased vote share.

"Compared to the last Lok Sabha elections, the Congress' vote percentage has gone up and the party candidates have received overwhelming support from the people in many areas in the city. This proves that the party is still a force to be reckoned with," Yadav said.
