Dismissing the hype surrounding BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit today said he will not have any impact on the upcoming assembly polls in the city.

The 75-year-old Chief Minister said people of Delhi are aware about BJP's credentials and they are not going to be misled by the party. She, however, said it would be premature to comment whether Modi will be able to impact voters in the Lok Sabha polls next year.

"I don't think Modi will have any impact in the Assembly polls. But as a Prime Ministerial candidate when the Lok Sabha elections take place, that is when his real impact will be seen, not just now," Dikshit told PTI.

The BJP has been trying to bank on Modi's 'popularity' to recapture power in Delhi after a gap of 15 years. The party has put up hoardings across the city featuring Modi along with its Chief Ministerial candidate Harsh Vardhan.
