Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, who is seeking a record fourth term in office, hinted that anti-incumbency may hurt her and conceded voters may be looking at alternatives.
"As a voter, one may think maybe another party can do better. That question mark in the voters' minds has to be removed," Mrs Dikshit said. Delhi votes on December 4.
Here are the highlights from Ms Dikshit's interview:
- Every election is different. This is the fourth time.
- There is confidence and nervousness
- As a voter, one may think maybe another party can do better. That question mark in the voters' minds has to be removed
- We don't know what impact AAP will have, it is a new entity
- He (Arvind Kejriwal) has caught people's imagination to a certain extent
- I don't think people's inclination towards AAP will convert into votes
- There is no question of organising an 'Open Parliament' at Ramlila Maidan
- Arvind Kejriwal takes two steps forward and then moves a step back
- Arvind Kejriwal doesn't have any vision
- In Delhi, BJP is our (Congress's) main competitor, AAP comes at third position
- Delhi voters inspire me to move ahead
- Narendra Modi knows that if you have to cut the ribbon, you'll have to work
- The anti-incumbency factor at play at Centre won't have any effect in Delhi
