Sheila Dikshit, who served as Delhi Chief Minister for three terms has revealed that her government had a lot of differences in opinion with the Manmohan Singh-led UPA at the Centre, including the handling of the Commonwealth Games and its subsequent allegations. In her autobiography “Citizen Delhi: My Times, My Life” published by Bloomsbury, the 79-year-old Dikshit has termed the decision to set up Shunglu committee (that indicted her) to probe CWG irregularties as “abrupt” and has drawn parallels with the Centre’s response to Asiad Games held in 1982 when Indira Gandhi was Prime Minister to buttress her argument that the delay in the Games happened due to lack of a clear chain of command
She has talked at length about the inter-party rivalry in Congress, especially during her third and last term in the government, saying many of such elements were associated with the central government.
