As the monolithic Congress party is trying to resurrect from the ashes of its repeated defeats, the Delhi unit of the party has roped in veteran politician Sheila Dikshit who had gone into a virtual hibernation after her defeat in the 2013 election.
Dikshit, 80, held a press conference Wednesday to expose the weaknesses on the incumbent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government headed by Delhi chief minister (CM) Arvind Kejriwal.
A Congress leader Ajay Maken – who is believed to be the man behind Congress’ debacle in Delhi – welcomed former Delhi CM Sheila Dikshit back in local politics.

“Many thanks to Sheila Dikshit for addressing the press conference and exposing the AAP government. Congress workers are enthused and motivated by your presence,” Maken said in a tweet.
“A united Congress is always a strong Congress,” Dikshit responded.
