<span style='color:red'>Migration from UP and Bihar is the root cause of the Ills of Delhi : Dixit</span>
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Yet another career politician who thinks an Indian state is a personal property of certain chosen ones created an outcry when she openly blamed people from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh for settling down in the capital city and causing road congestions and contributing to other ills of New Delhi.
Sheila Dikshit, the Congress leader and Delhi Chief Minister, while laying a foundation stone of a new flyover in south Delhi on Wednesday, said <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>she wished there was a way to stop migration from other states particularly Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.</span>
<b>Ironically, Dikshit herself is originally from UP</b> though now she considers herself as a native Delhi'ite and is ashamed of admitting that she is from UP, people who have known her for a long time, said.
Dikshit's remarks immediately drew widespread criticism from Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leaders in Bihar.
"Her statement is irresponsible and unwarranted. If she is so concerned about Delhi population, she should first pack her own stuff and proceed to Uttar Pradesh before lecturing other people on migration," BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain said.
RJD leader Ram Kripal Yadav also shot back at the Delhi Chief Minister saying Dikshit owed an apology to the people of Bihar and UP. "She can do (apologize) on her own or we will force her to do so," and angry Yadav said.

These people who promote illegal Bangladeshi immigrants, especially in Delhi, are questioning the fundamental right of Indian citizens to settle anywhere in India, as enshrined in the Indian Constitution!
