New Delhi [India], July 20 (ANI): Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge paid tribute to former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on her death anniversary on Sunday, remembering her for her contributions to transforming the national capital.
Kharge highlighted her visionary leadership, progressive policies, and commitment to the city's growth and inclusivity.

"Her visionary leadership, progressive policies, and unwavering dedication to the well-being of its citizens created a lasting legacy of inclusivity and growth," the post reads.
Congress veteran Sheila Dikshit, credited with transforming Delhi into a modern, contemporary city during her three terms as its chief minister, died on July 20, 2019, at the age of 81. She was admitted to Fortis Escorts Heart Institute on July 19, 2019, for cardiac arrhythmia and was put on a ventilator within a few moments of her admission.
Born on March 31, 1938, Dikshit was the longest-serving Chief Minister of Delhi. She held the position for three terms from 1998 to 2013.
Meanwhile, on Saturday, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge accused the BJP and the RSS of wanting to rewrite the Constitution. He, however, said that no matter how hard they try, the Constitution cannot be destroyed.
Kharge also slammed the Centre for "selling off" public sector enterprises.
"The BJP is selling off Nehru-era public sector enterprises, factories that employed lakhs of workers, to Adani and Ambani. Now, the RSS and BJP even talk of rewriting the Constitution. Let me be clear: No matter how hard they try, the Constitution cannot be destroyed," Kharge said while addressing a mega convention organised by the Karnataka government here. (ANI)
