New Delhi: Twitterati was taken by a surprise after Congress declared former Delhi CM Sheila Dikshit as its Uttar Pradesh CM candidate for the upcoming state assembly elections.

Sheila Dixit has been appointed UP CM candidate because Cong doesn't want to risk winning even one seat in UP elections, just like Delhi.
