Manoj Tiwari, the BJP's Delhi unit president, on Sunday said former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit is better than her successor Arvind Kejriwal. He also admitted that her popularity graph has risen after the Congress fielded her from the Delhi Northeast constituency from where he is contesting the ongoing national election.
"No doubt her popularity has increased. After all, her reputation is better than Arvind Kejriwal," Mr Tiwari told. Talking about the outcome of the national elections in Delhi, Mr Tiwari said the BJP would win all the seats. He further said there was a tough fight between the AAP and the Congress for the second position.
The BJP had won all the seven seats in Delhi in the 2014 Lok Sabha election. The AAP, a new entrant, came on the second position in all the seats. The Congress was a distant third.
The AAP and the Congress were in talks for an alliance in Delhi for weeks. The talks, however, went south after the Congress's Delhi unit expressed unwillingness to ally with the party. Congress chief Rahul Gandhi later offered 4 seats to AAP in a tweet. The AAP turned down the offer over demands of alliance in Punjab and Haryana along with Delhi.
