"For the first time your assumption has proved right," he said, referring to media speculation that Dikshit, ousted from power in Delhi in December 2013, would be the face of the Congress in UP. Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said the corruption allegations levelled against Dikshit did not matter since BJP's Chief Ministers in other states too faced corruption charges.
