Sheela Dixit: Cong needed aggressive campaigning, nobody asked me

April 26, 2017 10:58

Former Delhi CM Sheela Dixit explains the Congress debacle in the MCD polls, saying aggressive campaigning was necessary. "Aggressive campaign karna chahiye tha, maine campaign nahi kiya kyunki kisi ne mujhe kaha hi nahi. I did not campaign because nobody even asked me."

Speaking on the EVM controversy, Dixit said the Election Commission and the government should work it out.

"EC aur Govt ko duvidha duur karni chahiye, par jo haarta hai vo kehta hai EVM kharab hai. Jo jeet ta hai vo kehta hai theek hai. Those who lose blame the EVM, those who win say the EVM is fine."

The AAP has continued to blame the use of EVMs for the poll debacle.
