It is important for Delhi to have elected govt., says Sheila Dikshit

Former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Sunday stressed on the importance on there being a government in the national capital, adding that at present, the citizens of the city had no establishment to address their grievances.

"The Lieutenant Governor will give his report and the President and the Home Ministry will deliberate upon it. It has almost been a year so we will have to wait and see what decision is taken by the concerned individuals because it is important for New Delhi to have an elected government. The people should have an entity that they can approach to address their grievances," Dikshit told the media.

"The administration of New Delhi is complicated, so where will the common man go?" she added. Earlier this week, the Congress sought an immediate dissolution of the Delhi Assembly and demanded that fresh elections should be held in the state.

"Delhi has not had a government for the last one year. The Delhi Assembly should be immediately dissolved, elections should be called for and a new government should be formed in Delhi," said Congress leader Manish Tewari.
