“I have said what I had to. The ball is in the court of the @PMOIndia & others now. Will he respond and come out clean? #SaharaBirlaDiaries (sic),” Dikshit said in another tweet.
With BJP targeting it following Dikshit’s comments, Congress maintained that it wanted an independent and thorough probe into the “Sahara diaries” corruption issue.
There was speculation that Dikshit may not remain Congress’ chief ministerial face in Uttar Pradesh following the controversy.
Rejecting the speculations, Dikshit also junked reports that she has suspended her scheduled programmes in Aligarh.
“I am amused to see ‘Sheila distances herself from UP’ speculation in media. Aligarh was not on my schedule. I will be in Barabanki tomorrow,” she said.
