Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit is unfazed by the continuing probes into her government's role in the Common wealth Games. In fact, quite the opposite. At an official function to mark 12 successive years of her government in Delhi, Dikshit said the organizing of the Games was a "cause for celebrations" and that now her government would be charting a different course. Releasing a 'Working Report 2010', and enlisting the achievements of her government, she said the social sector, housing for the poor and regularization and development of unofficial colonies would from now on be accorded top priority.
"I was nervous when I started in 1998. You know how it feels when a child goes to school for the first time. But there is no reason to be nervous now. I am filled with the desire to make Delhi
better," Dikshit said in her opening address at the Delhi Secretariat. Dikshit had been defensive at most media conferences before Common wealth Games but on Monday, she appeared happy to share her views and tolerantly answered queries about the ongoing inquiries by the Shunglu Committee and CAG. "Our officers are providing whatever information the probe panels are asking for," the CM said.
"We were able to provide marvellous infrastructure despite apprehensions and doubts raised by certain quarters. No other city in the country has infrastructure like what we have in Delhi. Those expressing apprehensions have to eat their words," she said on a admiring note to her officers and staff. On her future plans, the CM said that till the Games, the focus was on infrastructure, but now the social sector will be receiving attention. The opening message of the working report talks about the change. "In coming years, the social sector will be a priority of the government. Samajik Suvidha Sangam has been launched to give impetus to the continuing Stree Shakti programme.
