New Delhi, May 12 (UNI): Former Delhi Chief Minister and Congress candidate from North East parliamentary seat Sheila Dikshit, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and BJP nominee from East Delhi Gautam Gambhir were among the early voters who have exercised their adult franchise in the national capital on Sunday.
