In the final half hour of her party's sagging campaign, she soldiered on wooing Delhi with promises of "more development" and a rearguard attack on Narendra Modi. She had figures to show Delhi was miles ahead of Modi's Gujarat. Caught in a difficult triangular fight, the CM still insisted BJP was her only rival, refusing to acknowledge Aam Aadmi Party as a force. Not only did no Congress heavyweight share the dais with her, even her cabinet ministers and MLAs had given the event a miss. She stood alone on the deck firing salvos at her opponents.
BJP, she said, was misleading the public and launched on an attack on Modi. She compared Delhi and Gujarat's development figures to drive home the point that her government had delivered. Trashing opinion polls and internal surveys of parties as a matter "of personal discretion", she emphasized it was a contest between her party and the BJP. At 5pm, the CM's staff brought the press meet to an abrupt close saying: "Campaigning is over".
Serving as the lone voice of the Congress challenge, Dikshit said: "There are some (Modi) who say Delhi is poorly administered. If that was the case, how did we win power thrice? Our campaign was directed at voters who were children when we came to power in 1998 so they understand the change over 15 years. We hammered home the point of what Delhi was when we took over and what it is now."
"The contest will be between BJP and Congress. I am confident of a fourth term," she said. "Either the opposition parties are naive or misleading people. How come they don't see the change in the city," she said. "We want to make Delhi one of the most talked-about cities in the world. There is a lot of unfinished work and we need people's support to complete them."
"The gentleman who claimed Gujarat is the best-served state, will have to answer this," Dikshit said quoting from statistics. Dikshit said 19% people in BJP-ruled state are under severe poverty as against Delhi's 3%. On sewerage, she said 96% areas in Delhi have sewer connections against 47% in Gujarat.
"In Delhi, we provide Rs 1,000-1,500 as monthly pension to vulnerable section like old people and widows while the amount in Gujarat is Rs 200 to 400. Our green cover is much impressive than Gujarat. I expect people of Delhi to understand these," she said.
