Press Trust Of India

New Delhi: With Congress looking set to make a hat-trick in the Delhi assembly elections, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said the people of the national capital voted for the party's development agenda.

"I congratulate the people of Delhi and many, many thanks to them for their support and affection for the Congress," the 77-year-old leader said in her residence as jubilant party supporters danced to drumbeats and burst firecrackers.

"We went to the polls on the development ground with honesty and unity, and people have voted for that," Dikshit said. The party has won five seats and leading in 35 others so far.

On BJP's poll campaign on the issue of terrorism, Dikshit said, "Nobody should play politics over terror attacks and all parties should join hands in defeating terrorism."

She said improving the lives of people would be the first priority of her government besides continuing the development of Delhi.

''I am overwhelmed by the response we have got. However, in the next five years we need to work harder,” she said.

On the agenda of her Government, she said,''We will look to make the lives of people as comfortable as possible. There are lot of unfinished initiatives that had to be completed. We will do our best to make Delhi a better place to live in.''
