I was not invited to campaign for Congress in MCD polls : Sheila Dikshit

New Delhi, Apr 22 (IBNS) : After the humiliating drubbing in the MCD polls, Congress leader and former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said on Wednesday that she was not asked to campaign for the polls and that her party should have contested more aggressively.

"We are going through a bad time. Congress did not campaign in an aggressive way. It did not do what it should have done to win the Delhi civic polls," media reports quoted her as saying.

When asked why she did not campaign for Congress candidates, Dikshit said, "I was not invited for any of the campaign programmes. If I would have been informed I would have certainly done."

Her remarks came as counting trends showed the BJP was leading in 141 wards, while the AAP was at far distant second spot, leading in 40 and the Congress in 28 wards.
