I haven't resigned under pressure: Sheila Dikshit

August 26, 2014 16:30

Sheila Dikshit: "I don't want to comment on anything. I haven't resigned under pressure. I will speak once my resignation is accepted."

Dikshit's meetings with the President and the Home minister yesterday came a day after her Maharashtra counterpart K Sankaranarayanan quit, protesting his transfer to Mizoram.

Five United Progressive Alliance-appointed governors have already resigned after being nudged by the National Democratic Alliance government.

Sources close to 76-year-old Dikshit, who took charge of Kerala Raj Bhawan only five months back, indicated that the former Delhi chief minister may put in her papers as she was under pressure to do so.
