Making a controversial statement, Chacko had earlier in the day said that the downfall of the Congress party started in 2013 when Sheila Dikshit was the chief minister.
In the video song, late Sheila Dikshit who was the Chief Minister for three consecutive terms in the Congress rule in Delhi was featured.
As Information and Broadcasting Minister she was urbane, and ever mindful of the needs of a free Press, a feature of Mr Reddy’s stint in that job as well.
Mamata has also demonstrated that to ensure enduring success, it is important to involve the larger and neglected segments of society and address their issues of livelihood. On the contrary, Sheila Dikshits success, bereft of her own political base, proved that like many other women politicians in post-Independent India, she too inherited a political office thanks to family connections and personal loyalty. She is an example of leaders who are imposed from above rather than having risen from the grassroots.
In an interview to Chanchal Singh, Sheila Dikshit spoke on a range of issues concerning the elections, her party, and the national capital.
At a rally in Uttar Pradesh on Saturday, Modi had targeted former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi while attacking Congress president Rahul Gandhi.
A Congress heavyweight, Dikshit had been a three-time Delhi chief minister. Her bid to join the fray has turned the upcoming Lok Sabha polls into a keen triangular contest here.
The announcement came after talks for a tie-up with the AAP failed in the national capital as Congress wanted a tie-up only in Delhi while the AAP wanted the alliance to be forged in Haryana as well.
This comes days after AICC in-charge of Delhi Congress PC Chacko had said that his party and the AAP would come together to defeat the BJP.
