Prashant Kishor meeting Mulayam was surprising: Sheila Dikshit

Asked about her comments that Akhilesh Yadav was a "modern CM", she said: "These comments are not related to any alliance per se. "There is nothing like a soft corner (for Akhilesh), it is a political requirement. If a person is doing a good job, we appreciate it. We should not read any political message in it. "He is a young CM; there is no affinity. He belongs to a different political party and our thinking is very different," she added.
