Rename Signature Bridge after Sheila: Cong urges Kejriwal

NEW DELHI: The Congress' Delhi unit wrote to CM Arvind Kejriwal on Monday, saying the iconic Signature Bridge is Sheila Dikshit's gift to the city and it should be renamed after her. Dikshit, a three-time CM of Delhi and a senior Congress leader, died on July 20.

Congress' Delhi unit spokesperson Jitendra Kochar in a letter to Kejriwal said the developmental work carried out in the capital under Dikshit's 15-year tenure as CM is "exemplary in the context of the history of the city and the entire country." "Signature Bridge is a big gift to the city by Dikshit. Its construction started during her tenure. But it is complete now. I appeal to you to rename the bridge after the former chief minister," the letter read.
