Listen "EP-254 | "Arvind Kejriwal is Useless, a Megalomaniac..." Sandeep Dikshit Takes on Former Delhi CM"
Episode Synopsis
In the last two Delhi Assembly elections, Congress failed to secure a single seat out of 70. Its vote share has dropped from 40% to just 4% in the last 18 years. Can the Grand Old Party make a comeback in the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections? Can it rejuvenate its cadre in the National Capital? Was it a mistake to support AAP in 2013?
In this ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash, Sandeep Dikshit, Former MP and son of Ex-Delhi CM Sheila Dikshit, answers these pressing questions. He also shares untold stories about Arvind Kejriwal from the India Against Corruption movement in 2011. Sandeep Dikshit is contesting the Assembly elections against Kejriwal from New Delhi, dedicating his campaign to his late mother, whom Kejriwal had called corrupt. Dikshit does not hold back, calling Kejriwal a megalomaniac.
He also addresses key issues like traffic, Yamuna pollution, air pollution, and the need for clean water in Delhi. He discusses the India Alliance, explaining its current position and why its partners are not backing Congress in the Assembly polls. Dikshit predicts that Congress will secure a double-digit vote share in this election and that it won’t be a cakewalk for Arvind Kejriwal.
