Ill-timed blog

At a time when the Congress is running a major campaign to project former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit as Uttar Pradesh's CM candidate for the coming Assembly elections, a blog by Sandeep Dikshit, Sheila's son and a former Lok Sabha member of Parliament, is bound to roil the waters. In his blog, Sandeep, who was also a key member of Rahul Gandhi's strategy team, accused the party leadership of promoting people in Delhi who abused and maligned his mother. "I am in the Congress, but as far as its Delhi unit is concerned, I cannot accept a leadership whose sole objective was to discredit the Congress government in Delhi under Sheila Dikshit... I am informed that I am not particularly liked for my rebellious nature and irreverent attitude," he wrote. Wonder how his comments will affect his mother's prospects in UP.
