Ajay Maken, who had the job, was eased out last week &#8212; sources said he made a promised for a prominent role at the party&#8217;s frontlines.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the main formal announcement made by the party, Ajay Maken tweeted: &#8220;Congratulations to Sheila Dikshit for making a comeback as the state Congress chief again. I got the chance to work and learn under her as parliamentary secretary and cabinet minister. I have full confidence that under her leadership, we will play the role of a formidable opposition against PM Modi&#8217;s and Arvind Kejriwal governments&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Kejriwal &#8212; who was at loggerheads with the Congress after their partnership ended with his 49-day tenure as Chief Minister in 2013 &#8212; has also been co-opted into the proposed Grand Alliance against the BJP. Its interlocuter Chandrababu Naidu and DMK chief MK Stalin have persuaded him to drop the &#8220;negative stance&#8221; against the Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Mr Kejriwal made a statement saying that\u00a0 &#8220;it is responsibility of every patriotic citizen of the country to defeat the (Narendra Modi-Amit Shah) team, and to do that, we will take all the best and possible measures that we can&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>For Ms Dikshit, her comment on the prospective partnership had marked a fresh stance that took the big picture into account and helped catapult her to the pole position in the race for the party&#8217;s top job in Delhi. Asked about the alliance, Ms Dikshit had said the &#8220;high command, Rahul Gandhi and all will decide and whatever they decide will be acceptable to all of us&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi: Just months have left for the national election, the Congress today made a comeback of three-time Chief Minister [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":264,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,24],"tags":[91,48,74,51],"result":[],"election_2018":[],"class_list":["post-263","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lok-sabha-2019","category-politician","tag-ajay-maken","tag-amit-shah","tag-arvind-kejriwal","tag-narendra-modi"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=263"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/264"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=263"},{"taxonomy":"result","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/result?post=263"},{"taxonomy":"election_2018","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/election_2018?post=263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
