Sheila Dikshit wins Delhi chief minister race. Really.
Sheila Dikshit won a second term as Delhi chief minister, carrying the weight of the lone victory her Congress party could claim in four heartland states. For Dikshit, 65, the urbane and amiable grandmother who defied the anti-incumbency sentiments that set her party back in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, it was a lonely celebration but a big won nevertheless.
Hell, I'd have voted for her just based on her name, too...
Touted as an outsider by her rivals both within the party and in the BJP, the silver-haired housewife-turned-politician proved that she was here to stay. “I must say I had some doubts earlier whether we could do so well, but now I am relieved and happy,” she said as garlands, flowers and sweets poured in at her New Delhi residence.
