'I Pity Ajay Maken,' Says Sheila Dikshit: Highlights

Sheila Dikshit in conversation with NDTV on Delhi elections, the Congress party and much more.

Here are the highlights of her interview:

• Maken's comments unbecoming.
• He complained about what I didn't do. Did he forget all that I did that allowed me to win for 15 years?
• We didn't run aggressive campaign.
• Our campaign was weak, I knew I would be sidelined.
• Pity Maken for failure to take us all along, we were a divided house.
• Any election is won or lost by local leadership, Rahul Gandhi is high command.
• Terrible blow for us, we are introspecting.
• We have a different style than Kejriwal.
• Defeat is collective responsibility -we should not put it on one person.
• Party took a decision to make Maken chairman of the campaign committee  late- it should have been done sooner. He was also contesting his own election, so he had to look after his own constituency as well.
• Am not saying Gandhis are not responsible...but you can't hold them alone responsible for everything.
