“Delhi suffers from multiplicity of authority”
Runner-up in the TSI-C Voter survey, Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit speaks to Khurram Raza
In a nationwide survey conducted by TSI, Narendra Modi has emerged as the best chief minister. Any comments?
No doubt he is a good administrator but I don’t agree the he is the best chief minister. A chief minister should be good in totality. He is kind of an autocrat. What he did to Gujarat, psychologically and sociologically, can’t be forgiven. I am not saying this because I have come second. In my opinion, Nitish Kumar is doing very good work in Bihar. You can’t see it right now but theway he is managing things is amazing.
You have been voted the second best CM. Don’t you think you deserve the first position?
How can I say that? I can’t have a perception. I can’t perceive what others may feel about me. Someday, we will be placed in the third position, someday we will be on the top and who knows, may be even the tenth position.
What is your opinion about governance in Delhi?
Delhi faces a peculiar constraint, that of land. Other states can spread their cities out and we can’t. In spite of that, we have invented ways to grow the city and given it a facelift as well.
There is a view that the government is not as efficient as it was during the first two terms. What you have to say about it?
Basically, efficiency is not a question. The government is working efficiently because it now knows how to get work done smoothly and quickly. Expectations of the people have increased. Apart from this, several key issues directly related to common people like the power situation have been resolved. Another factor is that the government is focussed on the upcoming Commonwealth Games this year.
Questions are being raised over the BRT corridor and CWG projects are running late.
Other states are emulating our BRT project. And all CWG projects are now in place and we will manage well before time.
