Claiming that she has always followed the directions of the Election Commission, Bharti sought to know why Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit were allowed to attend a similar Dussehra programme yesterday in the national capital where election will be held in December.
"I could also have been given permission to attend the programme in Chhattarpur in the same manner as Sonia Gandhi was allowed to participate in the Dussehra programme. This is my only request. I will continue to follow your instructions in future as well," Bharti said.
