LIVE! Sheila Dikshit: Congress did NOT back me

December 09, 2013 14:45

Former chief minister of Delhi, Sheila Dikshit, says she did not get enough support from the Congress party. She says there should have been more cohesion between the party and the government and she feels that the party did not back her.

Sheila Dikshit created history by becoming the longest-serving chief minister of Delhi. Her supporters had also started making plans for her to assume a greater role in national politics. Some started projecting her as a possible prime ministerial nominee against Narendra Modi (also a three-time chief minister) while others said she would make an excellent home minister.
