In Delhi, 1.2 crore residents have begun voting today. Facing the toughest battle of her political career, three-time Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit today said she has kept her "fingers crossed" on the outcome of the election where ruling Congress, BJP and new entrant Aam Admi Party are locked in a keen tussle.

When asked whether she was worried about AAP's possible impact, Dikshit said "no".

Dikshit (75), who led Congress to three consecutive electoral victories in Delhi, said her government ensured inclusive development in the last 15 years and hoped that people of the city will give the ruling party another opportunity to serve them.

"I am fighting the polls with confidence. We have ensured consistent development. We followed an agenda of inclusive development. We made Delhi the best city.

"The Opposition made tall claims and tried to defame us. But people of Delhi know about our performance. I think they will vote considering what will be good for them," she said before stepping out of her residence to vote.
