NEW DELHI: Arguably one of the most successful women politicos in the country, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit says women make better politicians than men as they connect better with people.
   
"The difficulty is to get up. Once you have got up, there are many advantages. I think women connect much better with people than men do," Dikshit told here.

Asked if it was more difficult for a woman to be successful in politics she said, "There are points which are difficult and there are points which are easier. It is difficult because it is not easy for men to give space to a woman competitor."
   
Having been at the helm of affairs in the capital for almost ten years now as Chief Minister of Delhi, Dikshit has had to deal with tremendous dissidence in the local unit of the Congress, with her detractors labelling her as an outsider for not hailing from the state.
   
"There is always resistance, they say don't give her ticket, don't let her contest, she will lose. As if they all win all the time," she said.
