No decision on giving tickets to sitting MPs: Sheila

“It is difficult. Let the Congress Working Committee,Election Committee work and sit on this. Then only we can say on this,” Dikshit said when further pressed.

Dikshit is believed to be having a “battle” with her detractors – sitting New Delhi constituency MP and Union Minister Ajay Maken and Sadar Bazar (now scrapped and merged with Chandni Chowk) MP Jagdish Tytler for long,sources said.

Among the seven Lok Sabha seats in the national capital,Congress is holding East Delhi,Karol Bagh,Outer Delhi,New Delhi,Chandni Chowk and Sadar Bazar. South Delhi is with BJP.

Dikshit said fighting polls on new constituencies carved out after the delimitation exercise would be both an opportunity and challenge for Congress.

“The character of the constituencies have changed with the delimitation exercise. It is both an opportunity and challenge for us in the coming elections,” Dikshit said.

Though the delimitation exercise has retained the seven parliamentary constituencies in Delhi,a number of areas have been shuffled among the seats.

Dikshit said the party’s poll plank in the forthcoming polls would be to apprise people about the work done by her government as well as the Central government-led by the Congress.

“The good work done by the party will be taken to the people. Development works have been done,” she said.
