I pity Maken: Sheila Dikshit

New Delhi, Feb 12 (IBNS): Former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Thursday hammered Congress leader Ajay Maken over the party's poor show in the Delhi Assembly polls and said he lost 'focus' and did not take other party leaders along.

Speaking to CNN-IBN, Dikshit said, "I pity Maken. He lost focus and he never took us along."

"If I was there, things would have been different," she said attacking the Congress' face in the just-held Delhi Assembly elections.

  Dikshit, however, defended Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi over the result and said: "It is not right to point finger at Rahul. After all Prime Minister Narendra Mdi and BJP president Amit Shah too lost."

The Congress could not win  single seat in the Delhi Assembly polls.

Winning 67 seats out of the total 70, the AAP surpassed the figures that were projected by exit polls on Saturday when Delhi had voted to elect a new Assembly.

The BJP managed to win three seats.
