In a bold strategic move that has shocked absolutely no one, the Congress party has announced that they will be reintroducing five former MLAs into the ring for the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. Clearly, the party's motto is “If at first you don’t succeed, recycle!” The second list of candidates, which reportedly took less time to compile than most people take to choose a pizza topping, brings not only seasoned politicians back into the fold but also the tantalizing aroma of nostalgia for voters. Among the highlights is Mukesh Sharma, a four-time MLA who has reportedly mistaken "constituency" for a form of pasta. His campaign slogan, "More Noodles, More Mukesh," is expected to resonate well with voters who appreciate a good carb reference. Then there’s Rajesh Lilothia, a two-term legislator whose time off from the assembly has been described as “a vacation from accountability.” His re-entry into politics has been greeted with excitement, prompting whispers that he may run with the catchy phrase, “Why fix what’s broken when you can just put new paint on it?” Former mayor Farhad Suri, returning from what appears to be an extended sabbatical of indecisiveness, now aims to rekindle the lost magic of his previous term. Observers suggest his campaign might revolve around his uncanny ability to avoid making any decisions at all—a talent that could fully resonate in today’s political climate. The distinct flavor of déjà vu does not stop there; Congress is also reviving the ideal of municipal governance with the inclusion of well-known ex-councillors, among them a few who were last seen disappearing just before major decisions needed to be made. Their rebranding efforts include catchy hashtags like #WhereAreTheyNow and #BackFromTheShadows. Political insiders say this strategy suggests that Congress is banking heavily on nostalgia—as if voters will forget that these familiar faces delivered about as much change as last week’s expired milk. But hey, why look for fresh talent when you can dip back into your political attic and pull out the dusty relics of yesteryear? As the polls approach, the candidates are presumably brushing up on their debate skills while honing the art of ducking questions. With slogans and jingles heavier on nostalgia than originality, one can only wonder—will this gamble pay off or simply lead the party to a spectacularly quaint defeat? One thing is for sure: Congress is committed to ensuring that their brand of governance will echo down the hallways of history… or at least until the next election.
