In a brief interaction with NewsX after casting his vote, Dikshit urged voters to make informed decisions. “Choose a good government and capable candidates. You are shaping your future with your vote—think about that. I hope people are voting for development,” he said.

When asked whether voters will focus on national or local issues, Dikshit made it clear that the capital’s electorate is driven by local concerns. “In Delhi, it has always been about local issues. People here have consistently prioritized state-level and constituency-specific matters when deciding their votes,” he explained.
