"Congress is making a false claim that Dikshit has brought a major transformation in the city. She could not even fulfill the promises she made to the people of her New Delhi constituency," BJP's Chief Ministerial nominee Harsh Vardhan said.
Addressing a rally on Sunday, Congres Vice President Rahul Gandhi had showered praise on Dikshit for "changing the face" of Delhi and sought the people's support to the party in the December 4 assembly polls.
Vardhan alleged over 30,000 people living in 13 slums in New Delhi constituency, represented by Dikshit for the last three consequtive terms, have been deprived of basic amenities like drinking water though she had promised to solve their problems.
"More than 15,000 families in Balmiki Bastis are living in pathetic conditions. They even do not get supply of drinking water and other basic facilities," he claimed.
