Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit today exuded confidence of a fourth consecutive victory for Congress in the December 4 assembly polls and said the party will be able to form the government on its own without entering into alliance.
"Congress would form the government on its own without any allaince (with any other party)", she said in a late evening statement.
Earlier in the day, she had dodged a question about the possibility of a post-poll alliance with Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Admi Party if Congress falls short of majority the assembly polls.
"I will be able to answer the question when such a situation arises," she told reporters when asked whether Congress would take the support of AAP if it did not manage to get majority in the 70-member House.
The Chief Minister had said she was confident of forming the next government "as people of Delhi will support Congress which has ensured inclusive growth in the last 15 years".
"I am sure people will give a clear mandate. We are going to win the polls. We are working hard," she said.
"We have worked very hard in the last 15 years. So, I am confident of the people's support for Congress," she said.
