Sheila Dikshit is Congress' CM candidate in UP

IANS, 14 Jul, 2016 12:04 PM

Sheila Dikshit, who was Chief Minister of Delhi for 15 long years, will be the chief ministerial candidate of the Congress in Uttar Pradesh, the party announced on Thursday.

The announcement was made by Congress General Secretary Janardan Dwivedi at the party headquarters.

"For the first time your assumption has proved right," he said, referring to media speculation that Dikshit, ousted from power in Delhi in December 2013, would be the face of the Congress in UP.

Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said the corruption allegations levelled against Dikshit did not matter since BJP's Chief Ministers in other states too faced corruption charges.
